Abstract

Vascular diseases are an important part of orbital pathology. We describe vascular tumours of the orbit and vascular diseases with repercussion on the orbit, from intra or extra orbital origin. The classification of these abnormalities is difficult and several terms are used to describe the same histological entity. The objective of this work is, using the current classification, to illustrate the different imaging aspects of the most frequent vascular diseases of the orbit.
