Favre-Racouchot Disease of the Periocular Region.
This study details the case of periocular Favre-Racouchot disease an often underdiagnosed entity with a complex differential diagnosis. This is an unusual condition that can potentially affect the periocular region; however, there is little information regarding Favre-Racouchot disease reported in the peer-reviewed ophthalmology literature. Increased awareness of Favre-Racouchot disease among ophthalmologists, oculofacial surgeons, and other specialists can lead to proper diagnosis impacting treatment options and patient outcome.
