Abstract
PURPOSE To describe a case series of patients investigated in internal medicine for orbital inflammation (OI) since the individualization of the clinical entity of the IgG4-related orbital disease (IgG4 ROD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty four patients were consecutively referred by a specialized center where orbital biopsy was performed when the lesion was surgically accessible. Fourteen patients were excluded in case of missing data or lymphoma, periocular xanthogranuloma or Graves' orbitopathy. Patients with systemic or auto-immune disease according to the international criteria, or presenting with idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome (IOIS), were included. Knowing the histological similarities between IOIS and IgG4 ROD, immunohistochemical assessment of plasma cells for IgG4 positivity was performed for every patient with available biopsy. Clinical and biological characteristics, treatment and response to treatment of included patients are reported. RESULTS Among 22 included patients, 10 presented with orbital manifestation of a systemic or autoimmune disease including 2 sarcoidosis (9%) and 8 (36%) cases of non specific OI which were reclassified in IgG4 ROD. Finally, IOIS of various clinicopathological presentation was diagnosed for 12 patients including 10 with histological documentation. Whereas relapse and resistance were not found to be related to IgG4 positivity (50% in both IOIS and IgG4 ROD groups), another treatment in addition to corticosteroids was more often necessary in IgG4 ROD patients (50%) than in IOIS patients (25%). CONCLUSION After ruling out auto-immune orbital diseases, especially IgG4 ROD, IOIS should be discussed. Factors conditioning the corticosteroid response are yet to be determined.

[Idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome: Report of 24 cases]. J Fr Ophtalmol 2018; 41:333-342.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome (IOIS) is an inflammatory condition of unknown etiology. The inflammation may affect all the structures within the orbit (anterior, diffuse, apical, myositic, dacryoadenitis) and corresponds to uniquely orbital inflammation without an identifiable local cause or systemic disease. The goal of this study is to describe the clinical and radiographic characteristics of IOIS and discuss the role of orbital biopsy in this condition. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a retrospective review of the charts of 24 patients diagnosed with IOIS at Fattouma Bourguiba hospital, Monastir, Tunisia, from January 2007 to December 2015. This study included all patients with IOIS and a minimum follow-up of six months. All patients had a complete ophthalmological examination and orbital and head CT scan and/or MRI. A work-up was performed in all cases to rule out local causes and systemic disease. Only 11 patients underwent biopsy. The diagnosis of the clinical entity IOIS was made according to the Rootman criteria. Oral steroids were the first line therapy. A bolus of intravenous methylprednisolone was administered first in vision-threatening cases. Response to treatment was defined as disappearance of signs and symptoms of IOIS. RESULTS Orbital pain was the most common symptom (62.5%), followed by proptosis and decreased vision (37.5% each). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was greater than 5/10 in 70.7% of patients. Lacrimal gland enlargement was observed in 3 patients. Oculomotor disorders were present in 70% of cases and 20.8% of patients had compressive optic neuropathy. Orbital imaging showed, in most cases, oculomotor muscle inflammation (87.5%) involving particularly the superior rectus muscle (54.2%) and inflammation of orbital fat (66.7%). Fifty percent had myositic inflammation. Biopsy was performed in 11 patients, showing nonspecific inflammation (n=10) and the sclerosing form (n=1). A total of 83.3% of patients received oral corticosteroids for a mean duration of 5.5 months. CONCLUSION IOIS is a diagnosis of exclusion, based on history, clinical course, response to steroid therapy, laboratory tests, or even biopsy in selected cases. Orbital imaging provides valuable clues for diagnosis of IOIS and for identification of affected structures. Prolonged steroid therapy is necessary as IOIS classically responds to steroids; nevertheless, partial recovery or relapses often occur.

Abstract
Inflammatory orbitopathies relate to an inflammatory state originating within the orbit and its adnexes, except the inner ocular globe. Orbital inflammation (OI) may be either localized manifestation of a proven or like autoimmune disease, or local response from immune system against infectious, structural or tumoral antigens. We review the clinical manifestations of OI, which provide helpful clues to the diagnosis and describe the inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic conditions classically associated with OI. Autoimmune diseases are probably the most common causes of OI associated with a bilateral dacryoadenitis (e.g., sarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, IgG4-related disease). We focused on a major part of the IgG4-RD spectrum, the IgG4-related orbital disease which has been recently described and the idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome that one should consider in patients 40 years of age or older with non specific inflammation OI on biopsy but without underlying local or systemic disease. An algorithm for the diagnostic approach of OI was proposed. If systemic explorations fail to diagnose an underlying disease, histopathologic control is required for distinguishing non-specific OI from other differential diagnosis, especially lymphoma. In the cases of pure myositic locations and posteriorly located tumours where biopsy could damage to the optic nerve, analysis of orbital lesions in T2W IRM sequence may be helpful to distinguish idiopathic OI (IOI) from lymphoma. When the diagnostic work-up fails, a corticosteroid trial could be used, but its beneficial effect has to be cautiously interpretated before definitively diagnosing IOI. Finally, treatments used in main infllammatory orbitopathies were also reviewed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orbital inflammatory syndromes include a wide variety of inflammatory intraorbital processes which are very different in terms of clinical presentation and prognosis. We currently prefer to differentiate so-called "specific" inflammations, for which an etiology is able to be identified, from idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndromes (IOIS), for which the etiology remains unknown and the histology is nonspecific. PURPOSE To propose an efficient diagnostic approach for clinicians managing patients with non-Graves' orbital inflammations. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective and prospective study concerning 61 patients managed by the medical team for non-Graves' orbital inflammations between May, 1999 and May, 2013 in the ophthalmology departments of Nice and Limoges university hospitals in France. Seventeen specific inflammations, 19 orbital lymphomas and 25 idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndromes were included. Patients were divided into two groups. Thirty-six patients (group 1) underwent primary biopsy, while for the other 25 (group 2), therapy was begun empirically without biopsy. We could therefore compare both approaches in terms of diagnostic efficiency and time until identification of a specific etiology. RESULTS Our statistical results show that an approach without primary biopsy leads to a number of specific diagnoses statistically much lower than that obtained by the approach with primary biopsy. Also, the risk of missing a specific inflammation (with as a consequence an inappropriate treatment and a risk of functional sequelae as well as a fatal risk of missing a lymphoproliferative pathology) is very clearly higher in the case of not performing primary biopsy. Finally, the average time elapsed between the initial consultation with the ophthalmologist and a specific diagnosis was one month in the case of the first approach, while this delay was almost three times higher with the second approach, with a mean of 2.91 months (P<0.01). DISCUSSION Our study shows that biopsy should be the mainstay of diagnostic management. A trial of empiric treatment is only performed first in myositis or in locations where biopsy could jeopardize functional prognosis. It should only be done after biopsy in all other cases. Of course, in all cases of relapse or recurrence after treatment, biopsy should be performed or repeated. CONCLUSION The diagnostic work-up of a patient with an orbital inflammatory process must of course include blood testing and orbital imaging, but also a systematic primary biopsy for histological examination in the vast majority of cases. It must be repeated at least in the case of any doubt about the diagnosis or in the case of any recurrence or resistance to treatment.

Abstract
Orbital inflammation is a generic term encompassing inflammatory pathologies affecting all structures within the orbit : anterior (involvement up to the posterior aspect of the globe), diffuse (involvement of intra- and/or extraconal fat), apical (involvement of the posterior orbit), myositis (involvement of only the extraocular muscles), dacryoadenitis (involvement of the lacrimal gland). We distinguish between specific inflammation and non-specific inflammation, commonly referred to as idiopathic inflammation. Specific orbital inflammation corresponds to a secondary localization of a "generalized" disease (systemic or auto-immune). Idiopathic orbital inflammation corresponds to uniquely orbital inflammation without generalized disease, and thus an unknown etiology. At the top of the differential diagnosis for specific or idiopathic orbital inflammation are malignant tumors, represented most commonly in the adult by lympho-proliferative syndromes and metastases. Treatment of specific orbital inflammation begins with treatment of the underlying disease. For idiopathic orbital inflammation, treatment (most often corticosteroids) is indicated above all in cases of visual loss due to optic neuropathy, in the presence of pain or oculomotor palsy.

Abstract
Acute myositis is the second most common component of non-specific orbital inflammation. We will describe its clinical features and natural history. This is a retrospective study of 10 cases. The diagnosis of acute myositis was based on clinical and imaging criteria. Our study includes five men and five women. The average age was 35.8 years (17-59 years). Clinical symptoms were: pain increased on eye movement (10/10), diplopia (4/10), proptosis (6/10), visual loss (3/10), lid edema (6/10), conjunctival hyperemia (7/10), anterior scleritis (2/10), episcleritis (2/10), chemosis (4/10), upper lid retraction (1/10), limitation of eye movement (3/10), fundus abnormalities (2/10). Imaging showed thickening of one or more extraocular muscles (10/10). Recovery was complete with anti-inflammatory therapy in six patients. Three patients experienced recurrence, and one patient had a clinical rebound upon tapering the treatment. Acute myositis can be defined by pain on eye movement, signs of inflammation, and extraocular muscle thickening on imaging. If the clinical presentation is typical, histopathological analysis can be deferred but remains necessary in cases of poor response to treatment, chronic duration or suspicion of tumor infiltration. The diagnosis of acute myositis may be suspected in the presence of consistent, well-defined clinical signs. Contiguous inflammation is often associated. Treatment is based on steroids or non-steroidal treatment anti-inflammatory therapy, administered alone or consecutively. Recurrences are frequent but do not alter the final prognosis.
