PURPOSE: To describe the clinical characteristics of periocular pyoderma gangrenosum and to highlight features that may encourage early diagnosis of this extremely rare condition.
DESIGN: Retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series.
PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Four patients with periocular pyoderma gangrenosum were treated in the Orbital Unit at Moorfields Eye Hospital over the course of a decade.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Presenting clinical features, therapy, and outcome.
RESULTS: Four patients (female) between the ages of 56 and 75 years (mean, 65 years; median, 64 years) sought treatment for slowly evolving, painful, unilateral blue-gray swellings of the pretarsal tissues of the lower (1 case), upper (1 case), or both eyelids (2 cases). The swelling progressed to frank tissue necrosis and loss of full-thickness eyelid, with patchy sparing of the lid margin or lashes; in some cases, there was a very distinctive preservation of the pretarsal marginal artery across full-thickness eyelid defects. The lid loss characteristically involved the lateral one third of the lower eyelid (3 of 4 lids), the central part of the upper eyelid (3 of 4 lids) and, in one case, extending into the postseptal tissues in the inferotemporal quadrant of the orbit. In 3 patients, the pyoderma, often associated with a positive serum rheumatoid factor (three of three cases where measured), responded well to systemic immunosuppression and eyelid repair was undertaken during the quiescent phase. In a single patient, relapsing disease led to loss of the eye as a result of involvement of the globe and deep orbital tissues.
CONCLUSIONS: Although an extremely rare condition, periocular pyoderma gangrenosum has a typical clinical appearance, and early recognition and immunosuppression will reduce the ocular morbidity.
