  • Title: Bilateral exudative retinal detachments as the presenting features of idiopathic orbital inflammation.
    Author: Yuen KS, Lai CH, Chan WM, Lam DS.
    Journal: Clin Exp Ophthalmol; 2005 Dec; 33(6):671-4. PubMed ID: 16402970.
    Abstract:
    Idiopathic orbital inflammation, also known as orbital pseudotumour, is a term describing a spectrum of idiopathic, non-neoplastic, non-infectious, space-occupying orbital lesion without identifiable local or systemic cause. This disease occurs mainly in young adults and typically presents with acute proptosis, chemosis and limited extraocular movement. Herein an unusual case of idiopathic orbital inflammation presenting with bilateral exudative retinal detachment in a 9-year-old girl is described. It demonstrates that prompt diagnosis and corticosteroid treatment can yield good clinical response and significant visual recovery.
