Abstract
PURPOSE: To describe the clinical course of a patient with a retrobulbar orbital tumor causing myopic shift and macular pucker. OBSERVATION: Following complete surgical removal of a retrobulbar orbital cavernous hemangioma, the myopic shift improved but the macular pucker persisted even 3 years after orbital surgery, with no sign of tumor recurrence. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: Chorioretinal folds secondary to chronic mechanical force from an orbital tumor may persist long after the tumor is removed. This case may assist ophthalmologists in their discussions with, and counseling of, patients regarding visual prognosis following excision of orbital tumors that are causing retinal changes.
