Abstract

Common variable immune deficiency (CVID) is characterized by reduced serum immune globulins and impaired or absent antibody responses. Patients become more susceptible to infections and to lymphoproliferation and granulomatous inflammation. Ophthalmic manifestations of CVID are rare. The authors describe a case of orbital follicular hyperplasia in a 15-year-old girl with CVID syndrome causing proptosis and exposure keratopathy.
