Abstract

A 76-year-old man receiving maintenance therapy with oral steroids for immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease presented to our hospital with the chief complaint of visual disturbance. His best corrected visual acuities of the right and left eye were 1.2 and 0.7, respectively. Humphrey visual field test revealed inferior auriculotemporal one-quarter blindness in the left eye. After detailed history-taking for IgG4-related disease, clinical diagnosis based on imaging revealed the marked pituitary/pituitary stalk enlargement with associated optic chiasm compression. Based on the history and initial evaluation findings, a diagnosis of IgG4-related ophthalmic disease was made. Intensified steroid therapy was performed, which led to symptom resolution. IgG4-related diseases are considered in the differential diagnosis when bilateral hemianopsia is observed. When unilateral visual acuity and visual field defects are present, IgG4-related diseases and other organ disorders should be considered.
