Abstract

Purpose : Vascular lesions of the orbit present an investigation and surgical challenge. This study is about the role of Time-resolved angiography with stochastic trajectories (TWIST) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), in the evaluation and management of distensible vascular malformations of orbit.

Methods : We prospectively studied the role of TWIST MRA (on Siemens Aera 1.5T) a noninvasive, non-radiation, dynamic imaging modality for the evaluation of distensible vascular malformations.

Results : Sixteen patients with distensible vascular malformations of orbit were evaluated using TWIST MRA. These included 7 (43.75%) with cavernous hemangioma, 7 (43.75%) with venous varix and 2 (12.50%) with mixed malformations after imaging. All (100%) were low-flow vascular malformations. Lesions were excised in 8 for symptoms of pain, cosmesis and swelling. Histopathology revealed cavernous hemangioma in 6, lymphangioma and venous varix in 1each, which are all low-flow lesions. In terms of flow pattern based on the hemodynamic study, there was 100% correlation between preoperative and postoperative diagnosis. However, specific tissue diagnosis of orbital lesions correlated with only 50% of imaging diagnosis.

Conclusions : In a clinically distensible vascular lesion of the orbit, TWIST MRA helps to distinguish the hemodynamic flow pattern thereby avoiding radiation. As a result of which a surgeon can plan surgical excision with the local use of embolic agents.
