Abstract

Intramuscular cavernous venous malformations affecting extraocular muscles are extremely uncommon. Due to their location, complete resection could be difficult.

A clinical case is presented of an inferior rectus muscle orbital cavernous malformation treated with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy after post-surgical excision recurrence. The malformation responded to radiotherapy with a reduction in size and symptoms.

Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy is an alternative and effective treatment for cavernous venous malformations that are surgically challenging due to their radiotherapy sensitivity.

Resumen

Las malformaciones venosas cavernosas que afectan a la musculatura extraocular son extremadamente poco frecuentes. Debido a esta localización su resección quirúrgica completa puede resultar difícil.

Por este motivo se presenta un caso clínico de compromiso del músculo recto inferior, generando dolor retroocular y diplopía, que fue tratado con radioterapia estereotáctica fraccionada tras su recurrencia posquirúrgica.

La radioterapia fraccionada estereotáctica supone un tratamiento alternativo eficaz en lesiones radiosensibles, sobre todo en aquellos casos con pronóstico funcional deficiente tras tratamiento quirúrgico.
