Orbital lymphatic malformations (LM) are associated with ocular morbidity and facial disfigurement. Surgery is challenging and may not be effective. We describe the outcome of bleomycin injections for venous LM and lymphatic-venous malformation (LVM) malformations of the orbit in 5 tertiary referral centers between January 2010 and December 2018.
