Tuberculosis can cause progressive proptosis due to orbital bone infection and abscesses. Prompt surgical drainage and anti-tuberculosis treatment led to a good recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Orbital osteoperiostitis is a rare condition.
  • Tuberculosis can affect the orbit, causing significant pathology.
  • Progressive unilateral proptosis necessitates thorough investigation.

Observation:

  • A case of progressive unilateral proptosis is described.
  • The proptosis was caused by tuberculous osteoperiostitis of the orbital walls and sphenoid bone.
  • Extraconal orbital and extradural intracranial cold abscesses were present.

Findings:

  • Surgical evacuation of the abscesses was performed.
  • Antituberculous medical therapy was initiated.
  • The patient showed a positive response to treatment.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in orbital inflammatory conditions.
  • Early diagnosis and combined surgical and medical management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • Tuberculosis can present with complex orbital and intracranial manifestations.
