ABSTRACT
Gaze-evoked amaurosis is a transient monocular vision loss elicited by eccentric gaze and has been reported in many orbital conditions but is most classically associated with intraconal tumors, such as cavernous hemangioma and optic nerve sheath meningioma. Here, the authors report a case of gaze-evoked amaurosis due to idiopathic orbital inflammation. The patient was a 35-year-old man who presented with vision loss only when abducting his left eye. He had a history of sclerosing idiopathic orbital inflammation with a left orbital intraconal mass diagnosed 15 months prior to the current presentation. The patient had difficulty with immunosuppressive therapy, which was stopped 5 months prior to presentation. Repeat imaging during the current presentation revealed enlargement of the mass. This case demonstrates that idiopathic orbital inflammation should be considered in the differential diagnosis for gaze-evoked amaurosis, which may be the first symptom of disease progression.
