PurposeThe purpose of this study is to assess the utility of intraorbital injection of triamcinolone acetonide as a primary treatment option for orbital reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH).Patients and methodRetrospective, single-centre, interventional case series.ResultsIntraorbital injection of triamcinolone acetonide was associated with complete resolution of all symptoms and signs in four cases (80%). This was achieved with a single injection in two cases and with two injections in another two cases. Radiological resolution was confirmed in one case. One case developed bilateral multifocal orbital RLH lesions 1 month after the second injection.ConclusionIntraorbital injection of corticosteroid may be a useful treatment option for orbital RLH, and may have a role as a first-line therapy in RLH of the anterior orbit. A significant proportion of patients may require repeat injections to achieve resolution. A larger prospective study is required to validate our findings.Eye advance online publication, 25 January 2013; doi:10.1038/eye.2012.288. |
