ABSTRACT
Subconjuctival orbital fat prolapse is a disease, which can be diagnosed by clinical manifestations and treated with simple procedure. Intraconal fat prolapses through weakened tenon and protrudes into subconjunctival space. The mass shows convex anterior margin and places at superotemoral region. The mass shrinks when indented and enlarges by putting pressure on the globe. It is frequently seen on males over 60 years old. It usually occurs bilaterally, and does not seem to be in association with obesity. Computer tomography and magnetic resonance image of the orbit show the mass contiguous to intraconal fat. Partial excision with careful hemostasis is sufficient for treatment.
