Idiopathic Orbital Inflammatory Syndrome

Idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding the eye, within the orbit, whose cause cannot be clearly identified even after studying it in detail.

Common symptoms: pain around the eye, redness, swelling of the eyelids, protrusion of the eye, or double vision; these symptoms usually set in relatively quickly and affect only one side of the face.

When to seek care? In the face of eye pain accompanied by swelling or changes in the position of the eye, a careful evaluation is advisable to help distinguish it from other causes that may resemble it.

Who treats it? The ophthalmologist is the professional indicated to study conditions of the orbit and to guide the appropriate management according to each case. If you have discomfort and inflammation around the eye, the prudent thing is to see a specialist for a timely evaluation rather than letting it go.
