Orbital venolymphatic malformations are rare vascular malformations that typically appear early in life and harbor acute and chronic threats to vision. Historically, there are four categories of management: observation, medication, sclerotherapy, and surgery. Currently, there is neither a gold standard for treatment nor randomized control trials comparing treatments.The authors present a 20-year-old male who presented with spontaneous hemorrhage of an orbital venolymphatic malformation occurring with increased frequency and involving more of the posterior orbit. Surgery and sclerotherapy were not feasible options due to the extensive intraorbital and intracranial involvement of the venolymphatic malformation. Systemic steroids treated symptoms but was not curative. To this end, a combination of sirolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, and rivaroxaban, a factor Xa inhibitor, were used to reduce the size of the lesion and minimize the risk of thromboembolic events. This treatment has successfully kept the patient's symptoms in remission for greater than 2 years.
