| History |
A 61-year-old male with past medical history of long-standing cocaine abuse presented with ten days of painless acute; vision loss in his right eye (OD). Initial exam revealed a visual acuity (VA) 20/100 OD, relative afferent pupillary defect; (rAPD) OD, dyschromatopsia OD, hypertropia with impaired infraduction and adduction OD, and 2 mm of OD proptosis.; Dilated fundus examination revealed 360 degrees of right optic disc edema, obscuration of surface vessels, and a; superotemporal flame hemorrhage. MRI/MRV demonstrated chronic sinus destruction, a diffuse, infiltrative, enhancing,; soft-tissue process of the bilateral pterygopalatine fossae, orbits, left more than right, and pachymeningeal enhancement of; the lateral cavernous sinuses. Otolaryngology performed bilateral maxillary antrostomies with biopsy that revealed; polypoid chronic sinusitis with focal squamous metaplasia. Extensive lab workup, including lumbar puncture, p-ANCA,; serine protease antibody, and myeloperoxidase antibody, was negative except for positive C-ANCA (1:640) and elevated; serum IgG4 (233). The patient was lost to follow up for two years and then presented with two days of left eye (OS) pain,; lower lid swelling, and binocular diplopia. He endorsed continued intranasal cocaine usage. Exam included a VA of 20/125; OD, 20/32 OS, rAPD OD, -2 abduction, adduction, supraduction, and -1 infraduction of OS, and 3 mm OS proptosis. Notably; there was a firm, nontender mass in lower left eyelid extending from below the lateral canthus to medial lid, and OS; chemosis and injection. Dilated exam was negative for acute optic nerve edema. MRI brain revealed an extensive,; enhancing, and infiltrative mass-like signal abnormality involving the left greater than right orbits and skull base, progressed; from previous imaging, with similar, mild smooth pachymeningeal enhancement along the anterior cranial fossa floor, and; scattered areas of failed CSF suppression within the cerebral sulci, as well as the frontoparietal regions near the vertex; suggesting meningeal extension. |
