PurposeTo identify ophthalmologic manifestations of the blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, a rare cutaneovisceral hemangiomatosis.MethodsThe authors report two patients with a diagnosis of blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome with orbital hemangiomas.ResultsIn one patient, the orbital lesion presented with signs and symptoms similar to an orbital varix and in the other with lid ecchymosis from an eyelid lesion.ConclusionPatients with the blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome may have vascular orbital lesions associated with intermittent proptosis. Ophthalmologists should be familiar with the syndrome and its life-threatening complication of gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
