Abstract: (11 Views)
Background and Objective: Acute and unexpected ocular diseases are among the distressing impairments to quality of life; therefore, identifying the causes of onset and prevalence can be highly beneficial. One rare ocular condition is idiopathic orbital inflammation, which requires skilled and timely diagnosis based on the patient's subtle and hidden symptoms. Accordingly, the present study is a case report addressing unrecognized symptoms resulting from ocular trauma in the context of diagnosing idiopathic orbital inflammation.
Patient Presentation: A 50-year-old female patient presented to the ophthalmology emergency department due to trauma from a tree branch striking the eye, complaining of pain in the right eye and localized swelling. Subsequent examination revealed proptosis, redness, and chemosis; laboratory tests and ocular radiography showed no other abnormalities. Antibiotics were prescribed but ineffective. After comprehensive evaluation by the ophthalmology team, the final diagnosis was idiopathic orbital inflammation. Following steroid administration and repeated follow-ups, rapid recovery occurred.
Conclusion: Unrecognized symptoms and differential diagnoses can lead to delays in identifying the present disease. Comprehensive evaluation, training of healthcare personnel through continuous education, workshops, and training sessions, team-based diagnostics, updating treatment staff knowledge, and systematic patient monitoring and symptom tracking will significantly aid early diagnosis and timely treatment.
