“…21 Hamartomas generally develop from cells already present at their site of origin, however, this does not necessarily imply the existence of mature lymphatic endothelial cells within the prenatal orbit, and most authors have concluded that a pluripotent stem cell progenitor is more likely. 22 A third area of interest concerns the role of dural lymphatics in the absorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the optic nerve meninges under normal conditions and in the presence of raised CSF pressure. 8,11 Further understanding in this area will shed light on phenomena such as unilateral papilloedema and pseudotumour cerebri.…”

“…It has been suggested that surgery to decompress these lesions be reserved for cases of optic nerve compromise, poor cosmesis, pain, disabling diplopia, or the threat of amblyopia. [3][4][5]10 Our case presents an unusual manifestation of orbital lymphangioma in which deterioration of vision was the sole complaint and retinal folds the initial clinical finding. We believe that mononucleosis was the precipitating event for enlarge- …”

sponses of normal amplitude. Oscillatory potentials were reduced, and flicker responses were of marginal amplitude with a delayed time to peak.Eight months after initially developing these symptoms, the patient's mental status had returned to baseline. The visual acuity remained hand motions in the right eye and light perception in the left eye. The fundus appearance was unchanged.From the Archives of the ARCHIVES E wetzky's (294) case was that of a boy of 5 and a half years who had signs of inflammation in 1 eye, lasting for a week, and relapsing for a short time, after a month's free interval.After the operative removal of the worm, which was found to be the larva of a fly of undetermined species, recovery rapidly took place.

“…Microcystic lymphatic malformations were traditionally called lymphangioma circumscripum, and they present as clear, plaquelike localized lesions or diffuse lesions involving skin and/or mucous membranes and even viscera. [9][10][11] They can occasionally present with dark red, blood-filled papules or even slight hypertrichosis. Because of these findings it is common to note recurrent presentations of cellulitis and ecchymosis.…”

The pathological term malformation is based on the clinical and histological appearance of the vascular channels. These channels are histologically representative of arteries, capillaries, veins, lymphatics, or a combination of these structures. Molecular studies suggest that vascular anomalies are caused by dysfunctional signaling processes that regulate proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, maturation, and adhesion of vascular cells. 4 Malformations are structural anomalies based on inborn errors of vascular morphogenesis. These lesions are noted to have high endothelial cell turnover. Malformations are further categorized into low-flow and high-flow lesions. This review will focus on the presentation and treatment of low-flow vascular malformations. In general, the majority of vascular malformations are sporadic. Conversely, heritable forms can be found in Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome, Fabry's disease, and ataxia-telangiectasia.
