“…[7][8][9] The ocular manifestations and associations of APS are diverse, but retinal vascular occlusions are the most commonly encountered. [7][8][9] Many ophthalmologists and radiologists would not routinely consider SOVT in the differential diagnosis of a bilateral superior orbital mass. Given the spontaneous resolution, it is possible that this condition is more common but underdiagnosed.…”
Although superior ophthalmic vein occlusion is rare, it is an important differential as orbital biopsy is to be avoided. This is only the second reported case secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome and the first such case with bilateral occlusions.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
