    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: A relatively rare condition, cavernous hemangioma of the orbit poses a problem due to difficulty of the surgical approach. Modifications in surgical approaches and better understanding of these tumors preoperatively allow for less disfiguring elective surgery than before. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five cases of orbital cavernous hemangiomas reviewed in our department between 2005 and 2009 underwent surgery by external lateral approach with removal of the lateral orbital wall. RESULTS: Resection of the tumor was complete in all cases, with one case of capsular rupture. Short- and long-term morphologic and aesthetic results were satisfactory in all patients. CONCLUSION: The external lateral approach with removal of the lateral orbital wall is a safe technique that allows good exposure of the tumor, facilitating its removal.
