A Clinical Sign for Aiding the Diagnosis of Unilateral Subconjunctival Orbital Fat Herniation
Journal Title: Ophthalmology Research: An International Journal - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Subconjunctival orbital fat herniation is a rare occurrence. These masses can be easily mis-diagnosed as more sinister lesions. We present a unilateral case of this condition and a useful, previously undescribed clinical sign, which obviated the need for orbital imaging.
