Article Synopsis
- - Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of granulomas, primarily affecting multiple organ systems, but its cause remains unknown.
- - In this case, the patient exhibited unilateral central retinal vein occlusion along with granulomatous anterior uveitis, which are both symptoms of ocular sarcoidosis.
- - Systemic symptoms and additional tests ultimately confirmed the diagnosis of sarcoidosis in the patient.
Introduction: Orbital metastases are rare and they are even rarer to be the first sign of the disease, which can lead to misdiagnosis and delay of management.
Observation: Our patient consulted for a diplopia and a ptosis of the upper eyelid of the right eye since one month, without any other systemic symptoms. After ophthalmological examination and orbital tomography, the diagnosis of orbital metastasis was suspected.
