Diagnosing recurrent exophthalmos (protruding eyes) can be challenging, especially after trauma. This case highlights inflammatory orbital conditions mimicking other issues, successfully treated with steroids.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Orbital Diseases

Background:

  • Recurrent exophthalmos presents diagnostic challenges, particularly following mild conjunctival trauma.
  • Orbital inflammatory conditions can mimic other orbital pathologies, complicating diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 58-year-old woman experienced recurrent exophthalmos, initially presenting as orbital cellulitis with nonaxial proptosis due to dacryoadenitis.
  • Subsequent episodes showed axial exophthalmos with inflammatory features, optic neuritis, and oculomotor nerve involvement, but no neurological signs.
  • Paraclinical imaging (ultrasound, radiography, CT) revealed inflammation of orbital structures, including extrinsic muscles and the lacrimal gland.

Findings:

  • Biochemical tests indicated minimal inflammatory changes, insufficient for a definitive diagnosis.
  • The recurrent exophthalmos episodes were characterized by inflammation, optic neuritis, and oculomotor nerve compromise.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering inflammatory orbital diseases in the differential diagnosis of recurrent exophthalmos.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management, including steroid therapy, can lead to favorable outcomes in such cases.
  • Further research into early diagnostic markers for inflammatory orbital conditions is warranted.
