AbstractA 32-year-old male presented with painless proptosis and diminution of vision in left eye. Imaging shows multiple well-defined masses, suggestive of cavernous haemangioma, in orbit and cranium with adjoining bones being thickened with cystic spaces. Histopathology proved the diagnosis. Cavernous haemangioma usually presents as a solitary intraconal and sometimes extraconal mass with vision usually preserved unless it extends to the apical portion. Here we report a rare case of multiple simultaneous locations of cavernous haemangiomas in orbit and cranium with significant diminution of vision.
