Subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse, where orbital fat herniates through Tenon

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oculoplastics
  • Orbital Imaging

Background:

  • Subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse is a benign condition.
  • It is frequently misdiagnosed as other orbital lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present clinical and computed tomographic (CT) findings in subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse.
  • To discuss features aiding in differential diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 15 patients with subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation and CT imaging characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Orbital fat herniation through Tenon's capsule was observed.
  • Specific clinical and CT features were identified to differentiate from other masses.

Conclusions:

  • Subconjunctival orbital fat prolapse has characteristic findings.
  • Distinguishing it from lacrimal gland tumors, lymphoid tumors, and lipodermoids is crucial for appropriate management.
