description PURPOSE: To report a case of orbital capillary hemangioma in an adult who was successfully treated with topical timolol maleate 0.5% solution. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 43-year-old female presented both superficial and deep orbital capillary hemangioma. Topical timolol maleate was applied twice daily. The superficial lesions have nearly disappeared after 1 year of treatment. The deeper lesions have also been reduced in size according to MRI. CONCLUSION: We report an adult patient with a relatively large orbital capillary hemangioma who was successfully treated with a topical β-blocker solution. This treatment might be applicable for orbital capillary hemangiomas, regardless of the patient's age, because of its effectiveness and safety.
