Reversal of vision after bleomycin injection in orbital lymphangioma

Lymphangiomas are benign hemartomatous tumors that can occur in all parts of the body, but most frequently in the neck (75%), as well as in the axilla and inguinal areas. Surgical removal is very difficult, as it is very fragile and tumor dissection is very difficult. Ultrasound-guided bleomycin inj...

description Lymphangiomas are benign hemartomatous tumors that can occur in all parts of the body, but most frequently in the neck (75%), as well as in the axilla and inguinal areas. Surgical removal is very difficult, as it is very fragile and tumor dissection is very difficult. Ultrasound-guided bleomycin injection directly into the cyst collapses the cyst and shrinks the tumor. It reduces proptosis, discomfort, and cosmetic blemish. We present this case who had gross defective vision and relative afferent pupillary defect in her right eye for 10 days which tremendously improved after injection.
