Summary

Orbital pseudotumour can mimic acute angle closure glaucoma. Oral steroids effectively treated both conditions in a 62-year-old woman, highlighting a crucial differential diagnosis for ophthalmologists.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG) is an ophthalmic emergency requiring prompt treatment.
  • Orbital pseudotumours are benign inflammatory lesions that can affect ocular structures.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman presented with AACG unresponsive to standard treatments.
  • Re-evaluation revealed signs consistent with an orbital pseudotumour.

Findings:

  • Systemic corticosteroid therapy resolved both the AACG and the orbital pseudotumour.
  • This case suggests a potential link between orbital inflammation and secondary glaucoma.

Implications:

  • Orbital pseudotumour should be considered in the differential diagnosis of refractory AACG.
