The first tangible description of an intraorbital meningioma can be credited to Antonio Scarpa in 1816. Since then, our knowledge of meningiomas and especially intraorbital meningiomas has greatly expanded. In 1938, Cushing and Eisenhardt1 described 4 main subcategories of meningiomas, of which the vascular or angiomatous tumor was a minor subtype. We describe what we believe to be the first reported case of an angiomatous meningioma arising primarily from within the orbit.
