Abstract
We report the first case of generalized lipodystrophy with orbital inflammatory symptoms. A 6-year-old female with hypothyroidism who developed hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and progressive loss of subcutaneous fat. Following flu vaccination, she developed orbital inflammatory symptoms. Imaging of the orbits demonstrated a paucity of retrobulbar fat and fat stranding. Systemic workup revealed insulin resistance and hepatosteatosis, consistent with generalized lipodystrophy. We discuss the typical history and examination findings in generalized lipodystrophy and review the etiology, treatment options, and outcomes.
