ABSTRACT

Vascular anomalies are a frequent group of lesions in the pediatric age, they are classified into tumors and vascular malformations. Most of vascular tumors have a benign course and present spontaneous regression in the first years of life, unlike vascular malformations which characteristically occur since birth and do not present regression. It is necessary to make an adequate classification of the histopathological components and of the flow of the lesion, as this will determine the course and prognosis of the disease, as well as the need for treatment and its approach.
Vascular malformations locate in the orbital region, however, there are not many reported cases of scleral involvement. This type of injury has the potential to affect eye health and vision, resulting in a mass effect, proptosis, bleeding, restriction of eye movements and permanent visual disturbances. The diagnosis and treatment become a challenge that requires a multidisciplinary approach to establish the medical or surgical interventions. We present the case of a vascular malformation with both scleral and orbital involvement, its approach and management
