OBJECTIVE: Intraorbital masses represent a condition that is frequently threatening for the visual system. A rigorous differential diagnosis is essential to promptly initiate appropriate therapy and optimize prognosis.
MATERIALS/METHODS: Narrative review of current literature and expert recommendations. For further illustration we describe the case of a 71-year-old male admitted to our department three months after sinus surgery. Postoperative intraorbital hematoma of the right orbit had been treated conservatively with antibiotics/corticosteroids, leading to a near-complete unilateral visual loss. The immediate surgical intervention aimed at decompression of the orbit and the optical nerve. Due to the delay, the intervention could not prevent formation of a lipogranuloma. Inflammatory phases associated with the lipogranuloma are successfully managed by conservative treatment based on multidisciplinary recommendations.
RESULTS: In the case reported, delay of surgical therapy acted as a cause of intraorbital lipogranuloma formation. Literature supports our recommendation of immediate surgical intervention in case of acute retrobulbar hematoma. Besides acute conditions, intraorbital masses can be a sign of systemic disease. In every case, a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach is required for adequate management.
CONCLUSIONS: Intraorbital masses can occur as a complication of trauma or e.g. sinus surgery. On the other hand they can be a sign of systemic disease. Timely diagnosis and treatment prevents from visual loss. That is why rigorous differential diagnosis is essential for every discipline managing intraorbital lesions.
