Abstract Background:Microscopic polyangiitis(MPA)is an ANCA-associated primary systemic vasculitis. Ocular symptoms, especially cranial neurological symptoms are infrequent. In this document, we report a case of orbital apex syndrome.

Case:A 50-year-old man who was previously diagnosed with MPA and had received prednisolone for more than 1 year. He developed double vision and a progressive loss of visual acuity of the right eye over 1 week. Brain magnetic resonance imaging presented abnormal gadolinium enhanced signals in both orbital apex. After two courses of methyl-prednisolone pulse treatment and after adding rituximab to the regimen, his symptoms improved.

 In addition, although herpes zoster developed under immunosuppression during the clinical course, it improved with early treatment.

Conclusions:MPA presents various symptoms. Close collaboration between the ophthalmologists and internists is critical.
