    Summary

    This study analyzed 80 children with uniocular proptosis, finding most cases involved orbital lesions. Understanding lesion location is key for effective diagnosis and management of proptosis in children.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Uniocular proptosis, or bulging of one eye, is a significant clinical sign in children.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and preventing long-term complications.
    • Etiologies range from benign to malignant conditions affecting the orbit, periorbital tissues, or intracranial structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of uniocular proptosis in a pediatric cohort.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of various imaging modalities.
    • To discuss the management strategies for different types of orbital, periorbital, and intracranial lesions causing proptosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 80 pediatric patients diagnosed with uniocular proptosis.
    • Review of clinical presentations, imaging findings (radiological), and histopathological results (pathological).
    • Correlation of lesion location (orbital, periorbital, intracranial) with clinical outcomes and management.

    Main Results:

    • Orbital lesions were the most common cause (57 cases) of uniocular proptosis in children.
    • Periorbital lesions accounted for 19 cases, and intracranial lesions for 4 cases.
    • The study highlights the diverse origins of proptosis, emphasizing the need for comprehensive evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • Uniocular proptosis in children necessitates a thorough investigation to differentiate between orbital, periorbital, and intracranial pathologies.
    • Integrated clinical, radiological, and pathological assessment is vital for accurate diagnosis.
    • Timely and appropriate management based on the underlying cause improves patient outcomes.
