Abstract

Immunoglobulin-G4 related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD) is an immune-mediated fibroin flammatory condition characterized by ocular mass lesions and elevated plasma IgG4 level. Since all the ocular tissues can be involved, and it can be accompanied by multiple organ and systemic diseases, the diagnosis and treatment require multidisciplinary collaboration. The Oculoplastic and Orbital Disease Group of Chinese Ophthalmological Society of Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Rheumatology Association convened experts in ophthalmology, and rheumatology and immunology, and formulated "Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of immunoglobulin-G4 related ophthalmic disease (2024 edition)" for the diagnosis and treatment of IgG4-ROD based on domestic and international studies and experience. The consensus mainly standardized the diagnostic criteria of IgG4-ROD from the aspects of ocular imaging, serum IgG4 level and ocular histopathology, and recommended the methods and indications of drug therapy (glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants and biologics) and surgical treatment.
