The patient underwent transconjunctival inferior orbitotomy and the lesion was excised entirely without intraoperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>On the second postoperative day, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) decreased from 2\/10 to counting fingers and fundus examination showed occlusion of the inferotemporal branch retinal artery. Fluorescein angiography and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) confirmed the diagnosis. One month of corticosteroid therapy and anticoagulation therapy were prescribed. The patient was followed up for 6 months; SD-OCT showed resolution of the retinal thickening and the retinoschisis but a new hyporeflective space in the outer retina at the fovea had appeared at 6 months follow-up. The patient's BCVA improved to 9\/10 after 6 months but an absolute superior visual field defect was still present at the end of the follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We describe the first reported case of BRAO following orbital cavernous hemangioma excision with significant improvement of the BCVA at 6-month follow-up.
