Idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome: clinical features and treatment outcomes.
AIM To characterise the clinical and pathological features of 24 patients with biopsy proven Idiopathic Orbital Inflammatory Syndrome (IOIS). METHODS Retrospective case series. RESULTS The study included 14 men and 10 female patients, ranging in age from 14 to 75 years. The presenting symptoms and signs included pain (14/24), swelling/mass (19/24), diplopia (9/24), proptosis (15/24), extrao...
متن کاملOrbital compartment syndrome in idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease: A case report.
Orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) is a visual threatening ocular emergency. We report a 50-year-old male with acute presentation of OCS, a rare manifestation of idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease. At presentation, high intraocular pressure was reduced by prompt lateral canthotomy and cantholysis. The disease responded to systemic steroids and treatment resulted in good visual outcome. Det...
متن کاملMR imaging of orbital inflammatory syndrome, orbital cellulitis, and orbital lymphoid lesions: the role of diffusion-weighted imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Orbital inflammatory syndrome (OIS) has clinical features that overlap with orbital lymphoid lesions and orbital cellulitis. Prompt diagnosis is needed in all 3 conditions because the management of each one differs greatly. CT and MR imaging, though useful, do not always distinguish among these conditions. The aim of this study was to identify the role of diffusion-weight...
متن کاملIntracranial extension of an idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor.
Idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor (IOIP) with endocranial extension is very unusual. The authors used CT and MR to diagnose IOIP and demonstrate the presence of intracranial extension of orbital and lacrimal gland lesions. While providing additional evidence of IOIP having intracranial extension, this case report emphasizes the need to include IOIP as a possible differential diagnosis...
متن کاملTreatment of idiopathic inflammatory orbital pseudotumours by radiotherapy.
Radiotherapy offers an alternative to steroid therapy for idiopathic inflammatory orbital pseudotumours. Twenty-four orbits were treated with radiotherapy, of which 75% responded adequately. There were no significant complications and no recurrences during the average follow-up time of 22.3 months (1-50 months). Biopsy, CT scanning, and steroid response of orbital pseudotumours can be helpful i...
