Article Abstract
Objective: To quantitatively evaluate the degree of fibrosis in Idiopathic Orbital Inflammatory Pseudotumor (IOIP) using Intravoxel Incoherent Motion Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (IVIM-DWI).
Methods: Twenty eight patients (32 eyes) with idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor were pathologically diagnosed in the Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University from August 2019 to August 2024. Routine orbital MRI plain scan and ivim-dwi scan were completed before surgery, and the true diffusion coefficient (d), pseudo diffusion coefficient (d*) and perfusion fraction (f) were obtained. According to the proportion of chronic inflammatory cells and fibrous tissue components in postoperative histopathological sections, it was defined that fibrous cells accounted for less than 10% of the total number of cells as negative (-), and > 10% as positive (+), of which 10%%25% were +, 25%%50% were + +, 50%%75% were + + +, and > 75% were + + +. Taking the proportion of fibrocytes in histopathological sections as the standard of fibrosis degree, the correlation between ivim-dwi parameters and the proportion of fibrocytes in pathological sections was analyzed. Data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0 statistical software package, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Among 28 cases (32 eyes) with idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor, there was no statistical difference between gender, age and the degree of IOIP fibrosis (P > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the proportion of IOIP fiber composition and the D value and F value in IVIM-DWI parameters (P < 0.05), and the sensitivity of F value was higher than D value in the comparison of the two parameters combined with ROC curve analysis; There was no statistical difference between the D * value and the degree of fibrosis (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: The D value and F value of IVIM-DWI showed a correlation with the proportion of IOIP fiber components, and the sensitivity of F value was higher than D value. Ivim-dwi examination parameters can be used as quantitative and objective indicators to evaluate the degree of fibrosis of lesions before IOIP.

Background: MRI-guided targeted fascicular biopsy has been a valuable technique for diagnosing idiopathic neuropathies. It has an 80% yield and a minor permanent morbidity rate of 5%.
Observations: A 48-year-old woman with a history of localized amyloidosis to the orbital muscle 2 years earlier presented with new neurological symptoms.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical data of idiopathic orbital inflammation with isolated and non-isolated lacrimal gland involvement.
Methods: The medical records of patients who were diagnosed with idiopathic orbital inflammation between January 2016 and June 2022 were evaluated. The patients were divided into 2 groups: isolated and non-isolated lacrimal gland involvement, and were compared in terms of clinical characteristics, response to treatment and recurrence rates.

Curcumin is a naturally occurring polyphenol extracted from turmeric, that exhibits several challenging properties such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, lipid-modulating, anti-thrombotic, immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective and anti-tumor activities. Dry eye disease (DED) is recognized as a multifactorial disorder of the tears and ocular surface, associated with different symptoms, visual disturbance, and tear film instability, accompanied by inflammation of the ocular surface. Inflammation contributes to dry eye disese and in turn dry eyes can lead to worsening inflammation.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a clinical diagnosis made from the exclusion of other possible causes of increased intracranial pressure (ICP): cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) overflow obstruction, mass lesion, infection, or malignancies. IIH is a phenomenon with a rapid onset that most notably presents in obese women of childbearing age. We present the case of a 30-year-old African American woman with a past medical history of bipolar disorder who arrived at the emergency department (ED) with acute bilateral vision loss, two weeks of bilateral retro-orbital headache, painful eye movements, and progressive vision loss with a decrease in appetite.

Introduction: Orbital myositis (OM) is an inflammatory condition of the extraocular muscles, often idiopathic but occasionally associated with systemic diseases or malignancies. Secondary OM due to metastatic disease is rare. We report a case of OM as the initial manifestation of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, emphasizing the need for comprehensive evaluation of atypical ocular presentations.
