Orbital sarcoidosis

AbstractWe report a 50-year-old woman with orbital sarcoidosis. The initial presentation was painless swelling in the upper eyelid and mildly limited extraocular motion.

Elevation of the serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level and mediastinal lymphadenopathy, found on chest computerized tomography, also confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was treated with low-dose corticosteroids for 5 weeks and showed a favorable outcome
