Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Periorbital dermatoses are usually persistent conditions which can influence the quality of life of patients, and proximity to the eye ball can cause therapeutic challenge. There is lack of adequate data regarding the frequency and distribution of periorbital dermatoses in India. Aims: To study the clinical features of periorbital dermatoses and to assess the association of systemic diseases with periorbital dermatoses. Methods: This was a hospital based descriptive study. All patients diagnosed to have periorbital dermatoses at the Dermatology Department of a tertiary care hospital over a period of one and a half years were studied. Results: The common periorbital disorders encountered in the study were tumours (38%), pigmentary disorders (19.5%), xanthelasma (10.5%), infections (9.5%), periorbital dermatitis (5.5%) and naevoid conditions (3%). The most common systemic association with periorbital dermatoses was diabetes mellitus (31%). Conclusion: Periorbital tumours were seen in 76 patients of which syringoma was the most common followed by dermatosis papulosanigra. Benign tumours outnumbered malignant tumours.
