Description
Baayoud and colleagues report a 2026 case, with a review of past reports, of a 30-year-old man whose bulging left eye revealed IgG4-related disease. He had nine months of painless eye protrusion and eyelid swelling, and scans showed an orbital growth reaching back into the skull.
Doctors relieved the pressure through a small eyebrow incision and examined the tissue. The biopsy confirmed IgG4-related disease, an immune condition where certain antibody-carrying cells invade and scar tissue. Steroid treatment then gave a good clinical outcome. The authors stress that scans alone cannot separate this condition from tumors or other orbital disease, so tissue testing is essential before choosing treatment for unexplained eye protrusion.
