Cavernous hemangioma is the most frequent benign tumor of the orbit. The clinical
presentation is that of a slowly progressive intra-orbital mass with variable degrees
of exophthalmos. CT typically demonstrates the presence of a well-defined oval or
rounded shaped mass but MRI provides superior evaluation of the orbit. The tumor is
intra-conal in 80% of cases and usually shows TlW hypo-intensity, T2W hyperintensity
and heterogeneous contrast enhancement that becomes more homogeneous on delayed imaging
(5 minutes).
