What are Encapsulated Cavernous Hemangiomas?

Encapsulated Cavernous Hemangiomas.
Histopathologic examination (Hematoxylin & Eosin) revealed a well-defined encapsulated mass composed of multiple dilated vascular structures with a single layer of endothelial cell lining (A, ×400) containing blood and surrounded by inflammatory fibroconnective tissue (B, ×40), findings compatible with cavernous hemangioma.. Bilateral orbital cavernous hemangiomas. Aletaha M, Erfanian-Salim R, Salim RE, Bagheri A, Salour H, Abrishami M - Journal of ophthalmic & vision research (2010). Not Altered. CC.

How are  Encapsulated Capillary Hemangiomas Diagnosed?

Encapsulated capillary hemangiomas are diagnosed by physical examination, family history, X-ray, orbital echography, tonometry, and susceptibility weighted imaging.

How is Encapsulated Capillary Hemangiomas Treated?

What is the Prognosis of Encapsulated Capillary Hemangiomas?

The prognosis of encapsulated capillary hemangiomas is  excellent vision prognosis in a case of surgical excision although hyperopia may persist as a result of mass effect against the posterior globe. Recurrence may occur in the case of incomplete excision.
