Abstract

Background

Orbital vascular malformation often encircles normal tissue with ill-defined borders. It is easy to bleed during resection operation, making surgical treatment difficult and lesions hard to be removed completely. In this study we aimed to summarize the treatment outcomes by embolizing orbital vascular malformation with intraoperative intracavitary injection of medical glue .

Methods

A retrospective observational and cross-sectional case series study enrolled 31 patients (male = 9, female = 22) with orbital vascular malformations, who were treated from March 2008 to September 2017 at our institution. The clinical features, operation records, pathological reports and follow-up data were analyzed.

Results

The location of vascular malformations involved intraorbital (14 cases), superficial area of eyelid and/or face (7 cases), both intraorbital and superficial area (10 cases). Imaging examination showed a solitary mass with regular shape in 8 cases and a space occupying lesion with irregular shape and ill-defined margins in 23 cases. There were 9 cases had optic nerve involved. Surgical debulkling were performed via skin incision on the mass surface (5 cases), lateral orbitotomy (2 cases), and anterior orbitotomy (24 cases). During the operation, lesions were partly exposed and injected with medical glue. The amount of injected glue was 0.25 ml to 2.5 ml in divided doses. The lesions and remnant glue were removed after the glue had turned hard. The whole procedure caused less bleeding and was easier performing than usual. Topical skin aseptic inflammation took place on the same side of the superficial eyelid lesions in 3 cases. One patient suffered from sudden central retinal artery embolism on the third day post operation. With timely rescue and appropriate procedure, visual acuity recovered to 20/32. There were no recurrences in 29 cases.

Conclusions

Embolization of orbital vascular malformation with medical glue intraoperatively made it easy to control hemorrhage. Surgeons should be careful with glue application methods in order to avoid complications.
