    This study demonstrates that steroids are effective for treating orbital inflammatory disease (OID). Advanced cases may require additional treatments like intralesional steroids, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy for optimal outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Inflammatory Diseases
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Orbital inflammatory disease (OID) presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
    • A standardized treatment protocol is crucial for managing OID effectively.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a stepwise treatment protocol for orbital inflammatory disease (OID).
    • To determine the optimal treatment strategy based on patient response.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty-five patients with suspected OID were treated with a protocol involving specific steroid dosages and reduction formulas.
    • Nonresponsive cases received intravenous dexamethasone, followed by oral therapy.
    • Further management included biopsy, intralesional steroid injection, orbital irradiation, and chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide) for resistant or recurrent cases.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-nine patients (64%) improved with steroids alone.
    • Four patients (9%) responded to additional intralesional steroid injections.
    • Six patients (13%) required radiotherapy.
    • Two patients (4%) needed combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

    Conclusions:

    • Steroid therapy is the primary and effective treatment for most orbital inflammatory disease (OID) cases.
    • A multimodal approach including intralesional steroids, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy is necessary for refractory or severe OID.
    • The presented protocol offers a structured pathway for managing OID, optimizing patient outcomes.
