“…The aetiology, clinical features and natural progression of intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms are not completely understood. Presentation is varied, ranging from progressive central field loss, decreased visual acuity, proptosis, diplopia to optic atrophy 1−5 . The expanding mass of the aneurysm is believed responsible for most symptoms and signs.…”

Angiographically documented aneurysms of the intraorbital ophthalmic artery are extremely rare. Two cases are presented of intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms, both associated with arteriovenous malformation (AVM). There have only been isolated reports documenting this combination of vascular anomalies. In the first case, the aneurysm was treated conservatively and in the second case, after staging angiography and interventional embolization, the aneurysm was removed along with the associated AVM. The clinical presentation, pathogenesis and management of this rare combination of vascular anomalies is briefly discussed.

“…There may be no specific ocular symptoms related to the aneurysms, being detected incidentally during unrelated radiological investigation 3 as in our first case. Aneurysms usually arise on either the first 1,2,4,8 or second 3,6,7 parts of the intraorbital ophthalmic artery.…”
