Cavernous hemangiomas of the orbit are benign, hamartomatous, vascular lesions, more frequent in middle-aged women, representing the most common benign primitive neoplasm of the orbit. Several therapeutic modalities and surgical approaches have been described, in order to preserve the normal orbital structures. We describe the case of a patient with a volumous orbital cavernoma, approached by a fronto-orbito-zigotomy. A review on diagnostic modalities and surgical approaches is also presented.
