Intraorbital aneurysm of the ophthalmic artery.

Intraorbital ophthalmic artery (OA) aneurysms are rare. They can be asymptomatic or present with visual disturbances, exophthalmos and headaches. We present a case of a 57-year-old man who presented with reduced vision, diplopia and exophthalmos. A carotid artery angiogram identified a right OA aneurysm. Due to the low risk of rupture and the patient's comorbidities including cardiac and renal impairment, a conservative approach was followed. A few weeks post presentation, the patient's vision and optic nerve function had improved. This case reiterates the importance of considering conservative treatment for patients with intraorbital OA aneurysms.
