ABREU PERDOMO, Franklyn Alain et al. Use of Oral Sildenafil in the Treatment of Orbital Lymphangioma. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.4  Epub 01-Dic-2022. ISSN 1561-3070.

Orbital lymphatic malformations are benign, slow-growing, abortive, nonfunctional vascular malformations that occur mainly in the first decade of life. Therapeutic options in these cases present limited resolution, some treatments are usually aggressive and cause damage to the visual apparatus. We present a case of a 6-year-old female patient treated for proptosis of the left eye. The clinical-imaging diagnosis of lymphangioma of the orbit was made to show the results achieved in its treatment through the use of oral sildenafil, a therapeutic modality under study worldwide in the treatment of these conditions. The treatment with sildenafil in orbital lymphangioma proved to be effective in the improvement of the clinical and imaging picture. No adverse reactions were reported during treatment.

Palabras clave : orbital lymphangioma; lymphatic malformations; sildenafil.
