Overview

Periorbital edema can indicate underlying issues such as:

• hemodynamic
• infectious
• inflammatory
• mechanical
• neoplastic

To determine whether the problem is localized or generalized, be sure to take a proper history and physical exam.

Differential Diagnosis

• Acute dacryocytosis
• Aging changes
• Allergy
• Blepharitis
• Cardiac failure
• Chalazion
• Chemical burn
• Contact dermatitis
• Dacryoadenitis
• Dermatitis
• Dermatomyositis
• Discoid lupus
• Herpes Simplex
• Herpes Zoster
• Hypothyroidism
• Nephrotic Syndrome
• Orbital Disease
• Orbital fat herniation
• Orbital cicarticial pemphigoid
• Preseptal/periorbital cellulitis
• Renal Failure
• Sebaceous gland carcinoma
• Squamous or basal cell carcinoma
• Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
• Thermal burn
• Trauma
• Ultraviolet burn ^{[1] [1]}

Diagnosis

History and Symptoms

• History includes:

• Symptomatic history
• Exposure history
• Past medical history
• Family history
• Medicinal history

Eyes

• Full opthamologic exam:

• Chemosis
• Cutaneous vesicles
• Discharge
• Erythmia
• Proptosis
• Tenderness

Laboratory Findings

• Labs include:

• Albumin
• ANA
• BUN/Creatnine
• CBCD
• ESR
• TSH
• Urinalysis

• Culture of eye

• Gram stain if suspected infection

MRI and CT

• CT of eyes, head and neck if deemed necessary

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

• Consider echo if CHF is suspected

Other Diagnostic Studies

• Consider biopsy of lesions if necessary

Treatment

• opthalmology consult

Acute Pharmacotherapies

• Treat with topical antibiotics
• If an allergy, remove allergen, add cold compress and antihistamines
