Idiopathic orbital inflammation, also known as orbital pseudotumors, often presents with proptosis and motility restriction. Treatment, including corticosteroids and radiotherapy, yields good outcomes in most cases, with open biopsy being a safe diagnostic tool.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Inflammatory Diseases
  • Orbital Disorders

Background:

  • Idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) encompasses a spectrum of benign orbital diseases.
  • Accurate diagnosis and effective management are crucial for preserving visual function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively review clinical experience with 132 cases of idiopathic orbital inflammation.
  • To evaluate diagnostic methods, radiologic patterns, treatment responses, and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 132 patients diagnosed with IOI between 1971 and 1994.
  • Diagnosis confirmed via open biopsy (96 cases) or clinical assessment (36 cases).
  • Radiologic patterns analyzed in 84 cases; treatment response evaluated in 60 cases.

Main Results:

  • Common presenting signs included proptosis (82%), motility restriction (54%), and visual acuity loss (38%).
  • Diffuse inflammatory disease was the most frequent radiologic pattern (40 cases), followed by myositis (21 cases).
  • Corticosteroids achieved success in 58.3% of cases; radiotherapy was effective in 64.3% of corticosteroid-resistant cases. Overall good outcome was achieved in 79.7% of patients.

Conclusions:

  • Open biopsy is a safe and reliable diagnostic procedure for orbital pseudotumors, except in acute phases.
  • Treatment for idiopathic orbital inflammation generally yields high success rates, though certain patterns may be less responsive.
