vascular dilation could represent abnomral blood vessesl, a tumor made of blood vessels (hemangiouma). Stay close to your treating tieam. They sound like they're on top of it. Don't be surprised if the tests are all normal and she has accommodative esotrophia.

This type of tumor is malignant(cancer)? What is the tx for it? How come they didn't say anything about possibility it might be a tumor? I live in Italy, and the doctors here are not very open and don't provide all the information to the patients like the doctors in US.
please DO NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS. Most vascular abnormalities are NOT malignant. Wait and see what the MRI shows.

Dear Dr. Hagan: You are absolutely right not to jump into bad conclusions, but it is so difficult when different doctors tell you different thing. First they told me it is nothing, then another doctor said he wants an u/s of the orbit.
You said in your last post to wait for an MRI . We have already had MRI and that's what it found -vascular dialation in the left orbit (her strabism is in the left), so I am sure this dialation is somehow related to her strabism. Also in the MRI result under the dialation portion it states -no probable pathologies after preforming MDC . What is MDC? A type of contrast? Does this mean after performing this MDC they don't think this vascular dialation is of pathologic origin? I am so confused. Also if it was some kind of tumor (for example hemoangioma) wouldn't there be a mass, or it can be seen as just a vascular dialtion?They didn't find any kind of masses. She actually has a hemoangioma on her back from birth, so it is likely that it can be in her other soft tissues like vessels. I am so sorry to bumbard you with all these questions, and thank you so much for volunteering your time. Julia
I'm sorry I must have read it wrong. I do not know what a MDC is. My suggestion would be to make a list of your questions and call the office Monday and have the staff chase down the answers or make an appointment to go in to discuss.
GIven what you have told me it is extremely unlikely there is any tumor or malignancy.
