VZV and HSV DNA were detected in a subset of patients with serpiginous choroiditis, suggesting that these viruses may function in the pathogenesis of this disease.
Spindle Cell Haemangioma (SCH) is a benign vascular lesion, which commonly affects the dermis and subcutaneous tissue of distal extremities. The occurrence of SCH in the head and neck region and more so in the orbit is very few and rare. SCH should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis in vascular tumors of the orbit. We are reporting a case of solitary SCH in the orbit which was mimicking orbital cavernous venous malformation (orbital venous haemangioma).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
