Abstract
Background: Orbital venous anomalies can result in significant morbidi ty and have been reported in association with other venous anomalies, some with the potential for serious complication. Methods/results: We present a case of an orbital venous anomaly coexistent with a large ce rebellar venous angioma and a linear sebaceous naevus. Clinical featur es, associations, complications and management principles are presente d. Conclusion: Upon clinical recognition of an orbital venous anomaly, brain imaging and appropriate clinical assessment should be considere d in light of the possibility of coexistence of potentially life-threa tening lesions.
