[Bisphosphonate-induced ocular and orbital inflammation].

The inflammatory side effects of bisphosphonates are well-known. We report a case of orbital and ocular inflammation secondary to the use of intravenous zoledronic acid and a case of scleritis secondary to oral alendronate. Bisphosphonate-induced inflammation can present as uveitis, (epi)scleritis, and orbital inflammation. The course is typically self-limiting after cessation of bisphosphonate therapy, but resolution can be further promoted by steroid therapy. The ocular side effects of bisphosphonates should be duly considered.
