ABSTRACT
Bisphosphonates are widely used for a number of metabolic bone conditions. Orbital inflammation is a very rare side effect of bisphosphonate therapy that can risk permanent visual loss. We describe the complex case and successful treatment of a 79-year-old man who developed orbital cellulitis following the use of intravenous pamidronate disodium for severe hypercalcaemia. The challenges regarding the diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma are also discussed.
