Background: Periorbital dermatosis is a term used to encompass any dermatological manifestation involving the region around the eyes, solely or as a part of conditions affecting other neighboring or distant body regions. It represents a common dermatological presentation encountered daily.
Objective: To study the frequency and pattern of dermatological diseases in the periorbital region.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Dermatology and Venereology department in Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, Iraq during a period from 7th January 2021 to 23rd December 2021. A total of 406 patients with periorbital dermatoses were enrolled. The diagnosis was made clinically.
Results: Of the 406 participants, 235 (57.9%) were females, and 171 (42.1%) were males. The most common age group implied in the study was <10 years, with 105 (25.9%) cases. Neoplastic dermatoses were the most reported conditions in 102 (25.1%) of the patients followed by inflammatory dermatoses with 97 (23.9%) reported cases. For neoplastic XV conditions, adnexal 31 (30.4%) and melanocytic 30 (29.4%) were over-presented among other neoplasms.
Conclusion: There is a diversity of cutaneous diseases involving the periorbital region. The female patients are predominantly affected more than males.
