The tumor affects twice as many men as women, with an average age of 30 years.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Case Description: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A 38-year-old female presented with proptosis: Axile, nonpulsatile, painless, nonreducible, Grade III, with impairment of oculomotricity, associated with a decrease in visual acuity on the affected side with an AV at 03\/10, and fundus: Grade I papilledema. The computed tomography scan showed a solitary, tissue mass, well-limited, encapsulated, and usually homogeneous, with homogeneous enhancement after contrast injection. The magnetic resonance imaging showed a rounded, homogeneous lesion, isointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2, with homogeneous enhancement after gadolinium injection. Suggestive of an intraorbital cavernous hemangioma. The patient underwent surgery via a subfrontal approach, with macroscopically complete resection. Histopathological examination was in favor of an orbital leiomyoma.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Although very rare, orbital
