To report a case of acquired hemilipodystrophy with ipsilateral enophthalmos.
Case report. We examined a 25-year-old woman who developed progressive unilateral enophthalmos secondary to fat atrophy on the corresponding left side of her body.
Computed tomography confirmed that atrophy in the left orbit, loss of fat in the preorbital area, and partial loss of eyebrow cilia on the same side were present. A biopsy specimen from the left arm was consistent with lipodystrophy. The systemic examination and laboratory values were within normal limits.
Although it is a rare condition, lipodystrophy may be a cause of unilateral enophthalmos.
报告一例获得性半侧脂肪营养不良伴同侧眼球内陷的病例。
病例报告。我们检查了一名25岁女性，她因身体左侧相应部位脂肪萎缩而出现进行性单侧眼球内陷。
计算机断层扫描证实左侧眼眶萎缩、眶前区脂肪缺失以及同侧眉毛睫毛部分缺失。左臂活检标本符合脂肪营养不良表现。全身检查和实验室检查值均在正常范围内。
尽管这是一种罕见疾病，但脂肪营养不良可能是单侧眼球内陷的一个原因。
