Abstract
Background To identify the prevalence of positive IgG4 immunostaining in orbital tissue among patients previously diagnosed with nongranulomatous idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) and to compare the clinical characteristics of patients with and without IgG4-positive cells. Methods A retrospective review of all patients with a histopathologic diagnosis of IOI was performed. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to identify IgG-positive cells and IgG4-positive cells. Multivariate analysis was performed using likelihood ratio-test logistic regression on the differences between IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and non-IgG4-RD. Results Of the 45 patients included, 21 patients (46.7%) had IgG4-positive cells, with 52.4% being male and a mean age of 55.9 ± 13.4 years. Bilateral ocular adnexal involvement (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 9.45; P = 0.016) and infraorbital nerve enlargement (aOR = 12.11; P = 0.008) were frequently found in IgG4-RD patients. Complete remission occurred in 23.8% of IgG4-RD patients and 41.7% of non-IgG4-RD patients. IgG4-RD patients had more frequent recurrent disease than non-IgG4-RD patients. Conclusions Nearly 50% of IgG4-RD patients were previously diagnosed with biopsy-proven IOI. IgG4-RD was more frequent in patients with bilateral disease and infraorbital nerve enlargement, showing the importance of tissue biopsy in these patients. Immunohistochemistry studies of all histopathology slides showing nongranulomatous IOI are highly recommended to evaluate for IgG4-RD.

Abstract
Aim To detect radiological features that, in addition to clinical findings, may aid in correct differentiation between IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD) and ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL). Methods In this retrospective, single-center, comparative analysis, we compared cross-sectional imaging findings of 13 consecutive patients with histologically proven IgG4-ROD and a control group of 29 consecutive OAL-patients diagnosed between 10/2014 and 09/2019. Statistical significance was accepted at a p<0.05 significance level. Results IgG4-ROD-patients had longer time-to-diagnosis, higher orbital recurrence rates, but smaller lesions compared to OAL-patients (p=0.002; p=0.006 and p=0.006; Mann–Whitney U-test). Frequent cross-sectional imaging findings in both IgG4-ROD-patients and OAL-patients included extraocular muscle enlargement (92% and 93%, respectively; most often in the lateral rectus muscles and the levator-complex), and lacrimal-gland enlargement (85% and 83%, respectively). Other imaging findings comprised infraorbital nerve-involvement (IgG4-ROD, 23%, OAL, 17%) and orbital fat inflammation (IgG4-ROD, 23%, OAL, 28%). Bony infiltration and remodeling, heterogenous contrast-media distribution, and infiltration of the lacrimal system were seen slightly more often in IgG4-ROD (23%, 38%, 15% and 15% versus 17%, 14%, 3% and 7%). However, cross-sectional imaging features did not differ significantly between patient subgroups. Clinical symptoms predominantly occurred unilaterally (IgG4-ROD, 9/13, 69%, OAL, 24/29, 83%), while imaging findings were most often bilateral (IgG4-ROD, 11/13, 85%, OAL, 23/29, 79%, p<0.001, McNemar test). Conclusion No morphological cross-sectional imaging sign could reliably distinguish between IgG4-ROD and OAL, leaving histopathology indispensable for definite diagnosis. Yet, importantly, for both IgG4-ROD and OAL, cross-sectional imaging frequently detected bilateral orbital disease when only one eye was clinically affected.

Abstract
Non-specific orbital inflammation (NSOI) is a noninfectious inflammatory condition of the orbit. Although it is generally considered the most common diagnosis derived from an orbital biopsy, it is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that the diagnosis requires exclusion of a systemic process or another identifiable etiology of orbital inflammation. The clinical diagnosis of NSOI is ill-defined, but it is typically characterized by acute orbital signs and symptoms, including pain, proptosis, periorbital edema, chemosis, diplopia, and less commonly visual disturbance. NSOI poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge: The clinical presentations and histological findings are heterogeneous, and there are no specific diagnostic criteria or treatment guidelines. The etiology and pathogenesis of NSOI are poorly understood. Here we recapitulate our current clinical understanding of NSOI, with an emphasis on the most recent findings on clinical characteristics, imaging findings, and treatment outcomes. Furthermore, gene expression profiling of NSOI and its implications are presented and discussed.

Abstract
IgG4-associated disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by tumorlike sclerosing masses in different organs. Differential diagnosis in orbital IgG4-RD includes majority of conditions, such as thyroid eye disease (TED), sarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, idiopatic orbital inflammation, limphoproliferative diseases and others. A case of IgG4-RD with different organs involvement and complicated differential diagnosis is presented. This case demonstrates very uncommon manifestation of IgG4-RD, when orbital involvement was very similar with TED. Systemic process was not recognized during a long period of time and diagnosis of IgG4-RD was established only after biopsy of abnormally increased lacrimal gland. Differential diagnosis included other systemic diseases, first of all sarcoidosis, GPA, and lymphoma. Biopsy results were consistent with the gold standard of diagnosis, e. g. more than 40% of plasma cells were IgG4 positive. This case demonstrates the necessity of orbital biopsy before starting immunosuppression to avoid inappropriate treatment strategy.

Abstract
Orbital inflammatory syndrome (OIS) includes a wide range of clinical manifestations and may initially be misdiagnosed as orbital cellulitis due similar symptoms of fever, periorbital swelling, and pain with eye movements. A diagnosis of OIS requires evaluation for underlying systemic disorders including autoimmune disorders and thyroid disease. Symptoms typically improve rapidly after initiation of steroid therapy, although recurrence can occur. This article presents an illustrative case of a 13-year-old girl with OIS.

Abstract
IgG4-related disease is a systemic, inflammatory disorder typically involving multiple organ systems. Several eponymous conditions described previously in the clinical and radiology literature are now recognised to be part of the IgG4-related disease spectrum. This includes multiple manifestations in the head and neck region, which are the subject of this review. Imaging can occasionally suggest the specific diagnosis of IgG4 disease. More commonly, it will be included in a limited differential diagnosis that requires clarification with the aid of image-guided biopsy. There are strict histopathological criteria for the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease.

Abstract
A 48-year-old lorry driver presented with 3 weeks of blurred vision, pain and diplopia. There was a right upper lid ptosis with some restriction of eye movements. A CT revealed an enlarged lacrimal gland and lacrimal gland biopsy showed IgG4-positive plasma cells. The patient responded to oral prednisolone and fully recovered. As a condition which mimics a number of diseases, an IgG4-related disease presents a diagnostic challenge and ought to be considered in both acute and chronic presentations.

Abstract
AIM To determine the clinical features of the dacryoadenitis subtype of idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor and its relationship with paranasal sinusitis. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 46 patients who received surgical treatment at the Department of Ophthalmology, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University for the dacryoadenitis subtype of idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor from October 2010 to December 2012. Each patient underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the orbits and the 4 paranasal sinuses. Disease status and the level of serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) was measured before and 6mo after surgery. RESULTS The initial clinical feature of the idiopathic dacryoadenitis type of orbital inflammatory pseudotumor was redness or swelling of the eyelids. Masses were palpated in the area of the lacrimal gland in some patients. Of the 46 patients, 16 also suffered from sinusitis (34.8%), with 14 cases of ethmoid sinusitis, 8 cases of maxillary sinusitis, 9 cases of sphenoid sinusitis, and 8 cases of frontal sinusitis. Of the 16 patients with sinusitis, 4 patients had a medical history of rhinitis (range: 10mo to 15y previously), 10 patients had occasional nasal congestion, and 2 patients had no nasal congestion. Thirteen of the 46 patients had elevated serum IgG4 levels. Nine of these 13 patients had MRI signs of sinusitis. All patients (n=46) received oral glucocorticoid treatment for approximately 3mo after surgery. No sign of recurrence was found in the orbital MRI 6mo after surgery. Of the 16 patients with sinusitis, 9 cases of elevated serum IgG4 levels improved after treatment with decreased serum IgG4 level and 7 cases of normal serum IgG4 levels remained unchanged. CONCLUSION Some patients with the dacryoadenitis subtype of idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor may also suffer from paranasal sinusitis. The incidence of paranasal sinusitis was much higher in patients with IgG4-elevated dacryoadenitis subtype orbital inflammatory pseudotumor than in those with normal IgG4 levels. Dacryoadenitis subtype orbital inflammatory pseudotumor and paranasal sinusitis may both the clinical manifestations of IgG4-related disease involved in different locations.

Abstract
IgG4-related orbital disease is a recognised cause for orbital inflammation. As its awareness increases and diagnostic accuracy improves there will be an increased number of cases being identified. This unique case demonstrates for the first time, with histological evidence, a case of a non-lacrimal IgG4-related orbital disease with concurrent IgG4-related mastitis. We describe a 47 year old who presented with a supraorbital swelling and mass. This was initially successfully treated with oral steroids and was later excised on recurrence. Immunohistochemical and blood serum analysis confirmed IgG4-related orbital disease. On systemic enquiry she was found to have a mass of the breast, which was shown to be IgG4-related mastitis. She is currently asymptomatic with no sign of recurrence and is under long-term surveillance. This case highlights the importance of systemic work up in patients presenting with orbital foci of IgG4 disease.

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
Since the earliest reports in 2001, immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease has been defined as an autoimmune systemic disease characterized by the lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of affected tissues leading to fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis along with elevated serum IgG4 levels. Prior to this unifying hypothesis, a plethora of clinical manifestations were considered as separate entities despite the similar laboratory profile. The pathology can be observed in virtually all organs and may thus be a challenging diagnosis, especially when the adequate clinical suspicion is not present or when obtaining a tissue biopsy is not feasible. Nonetheless, the most frequently involved organs are the pancreas and exocrine glands but these may be spared. Immunosuppressants lead to a prompt clinical response in virtually all cases and prevent histological sequelae and, as a consequence, an early differential diagnosis from other conditions, particularly infections and cancer, as well as an early treatment should be pursued. We describe herein two cases in which atypical disease manifestations were observed, i.e., one with recurrent neck lymph node enlargement and proptosis, and one with jaundice. Our understanding of the pathogenesis of IgG4-related disease is largely incomplete but data support a significant role for Th2 cytokines with the contribution of innate immunity factors such as Toll-like receptors, macrophages and basophils. Further, macrophages activated by IL4 overexpress B cell activating factors and contribute to chronic inflammation and the development of fibrosis. We cannot rule out the possibility that the largely variable disease phenotypes reflect different pathogenetic mechanisms and the tissue microenvironment may then contribute to the organ involvement.

Abstract
The orbit and globe can be secondarily involved in various systemic diseases. These range from tumor and tumorlike conditions, metabolic, infective, inflammatory, granulomatous demyelinating diseases, and skeletal dysplasias. In this article, we discuss the imaging appearances of the remaining systemic pathologies affecting the orbit such as (1) endocrine or metabolic, (2) infectious, (3) inflammatory or granulomatous, (4) demyelinating diseases, and (5) skeletal dysplasias. As the imaging appearances of various systemic diseases tend to overlap, we also introduce a list of pattern-based systemic differential diagnoses for commonly encountered orbital imaging findings. Awareness of the imaging appearances of the various ophthalmic manifestations of systemic diseases can help a radiologist to suggest the most appropriate differential diagnosis to guide further workup and facilitate correct treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article offers a pragmatic roadmap to the practicing neurologist on how to approach the patient with double vision. Strategies of history taking and examination techniques are reviewed, followed by a broad overview of the causes of diplopia organized by neuroanatomic localization. Diplopia may be the first symptom of serious vision or life-threatening neurologic disease, and its correct localization and diagnosis are therefore essential. The systems responsible for ocular movement and alignment in the vertical and horizontal plane include complex supranuclear circuitry, brainstem nuclei, cranial nerves III, IV, and VI, and their respective neuromuscular junctions and target muscles. Disruption at any point within this system or within the vestibular afferents that govern eye movement in response to head movements may therefore produce diplopia, leading to a broad differential diagnosis for the patient with diplopia. With a careful history and examination, the neurologist should be able to observe the patterns of diplopia that reveal the site of dysfunction, thus generating a shorter localization-specific list of possible etiologies. Examination of ocular motility including smooth pursuit and saccadic function, followed, if necessary, by testing designed to uncover misalignments of the eyes, including cover and Maddox rod testing, are primary components of the efferent neurologic examination. Further testing designed to detect myasthenia (eg, lid testing and fatigable upgaze) and orbital disease (eg, measuring proptosis, testing for resistance to retropulsion) may be necessary. RECENT FINDINGS Recent advances in the diagnosis of diplopia include the observation that vertical diplopia from skew deviation is more likely to improve with supine positioning than that caused by trochlear nerve palsies. Advances in the field of ocular myasthenia include the observation of decreased conversion to the generalized form with treatment with either steroids or thymectomy, although these conclusions need to be confirmed by prospective, randomized trials. Rarely, pure ocular myasthenia may be associated with the muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody. SUMMARY With proper skills, the neurologist can elucidate the localization of diplopia, even in cases of complex ocular misalignment, and generate a management plan that can address the underlying disease, and, in many cases, ameliorate or cure the diplopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present the clinical outcomes of combined orbital radiotherapy and systemic corticosteroid for patients with refractory ocular adnexal IgG4-related disease. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 3 patients with histopathologically confirmed ocular adnexal IgG4-related disease who had been refractory or intolerant to corticosteroid therapy and treated with adjunctive orbital radiotherapy (2000 cGy; 10 fractions). Clinical improvement was assessed by monitoring the patient's ability to taper corticosteroid to discontinuation and by follow-up radiologic examination. RESULTS All 3 patients had a favorable response to adjunctive radiotherapy with improvement of the clinical symptoms and radiologic abnormalities. Systemic corticosteroid was tapered and discontinued in all patients successfully. There were no adverse effects of treatment or recurrence after a mean follow-up of 19 months. CONCLUSION Adjunctive radiotherapy can help to achieve stable disease and cessation of systemic corticosteroid in patients with refractory ocular adnexal IgG4-related disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion is an idiopathic fibrosclerosing disorder occurring in the head and neck region. It is one of a broad spectrum of entities named inflammatory pseudotumors and, as the name suggests, it mimics a lot of diseases such as malignancies or infections. Combined with its rarity, tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion can be a tremendous diagnostic challenge. This case report describes a case of tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion, which was initially thought to be peri-orbital and mandibular osteomyelitis caused by Aspergillus. A lengthy work up ensued and was required to reach the final diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old Asian man with a history of diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease who was on hemodialysis presented with worsening exophthalmos and relapsing trismus. He was diagnosed as "mandibular osteomyelitis" about 20 years ago. Since then he had suffered chronic relapsing exophthalmos and jaw pain with numerous medical treatments. In 2011 he was diagnosed as peri-orbital and intramandibular aspergillosis because a serum Aspergillus galactomannan assay was positive. He was treated with multiple antifungal medications to no avail. A biopsy of his orbital lesions was not revealing. After repeated biopsies, we finally concluded that the patient was suffering from tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion. Corticosteroid therapy was initiated with prompt response. CONCLUSIONS Tumefactive fibroinflammatory lesion is a rare inflammatory benign tumor, which mimics many inflammatory and neoplastic disorders. Conventional work up including biopsy may not lead to the diagnosis without understanding this entity. Awareness of this disorder will aid early diagnosis and treatment.
