Intravascular Papillary Endothelial Hyperplasia as a Cause of Reversible Vision Loss

ABSTRACT: Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is a benign vascular lesion that is formally diagnosed on histopathology. IPEH seldom presents in periocular tissues and is even less commonly seen deep within the orbit. As with cavernous hemangioma, this lesion tends to distort surrounding structures and can cause a significant mass effect in the orbit. The authors present an unusual case of orbital IPEH that resulted in severe …
