Professor XIE Like's treatment experience of Hormone-dependent orbital pseudotu-mor
XIE Like has rich clinical experience in the combined treatment of inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit with Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine.Based on the theory of"strengthening fire and nourishing Qi"in the,Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon,he believes that glucocorticoid treatment is prone to cause damage to the Qi,blood,Yin and Yang,and even body fluids of patients with inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit,leading to dependence on steroids.Therefore,he divides the use of glucocorticoids into three stages:High-dose shock stage,low-dose maintenance stage,and steroid withdrawal stage,emphasizing adherence to the pathological changes and staging treatment.This article will elucidate his experience in treating steroid-dependent inflammatory pseudotumor of the orbit from the perspectives of basic theory,clinical manifestations,treatment,and typical cases,for the purpose of exchange and mutual progress.
