Abstract
Orbital apex syndrome also known as Jacod syndrome is a rare disorder. This could be inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, vascular or traumatic in origin. We present a 40- year-old woman with drooping of right eye eyelid since 15 days associated with headache. Patient was investigated and managed conservatively with systemic steroids. The patient was followed-up regularly in OPD after discharge. Mainly the treatment is by addressing the underlying cause and requires multidisciplinary approach.
