- Abstract
Orbital pseudotumor (idiopathic orbital inflammation) is a clinical syndrome, in which the etiology or pathogenesis are unknown. It is rarely seen in the childhood. Clinical findings are usually acute onset, and include eye pain, periorbital edema, redness, and limitation of eye movements. Diagnosis is based on clinical and radiological findings. Orbital cellulitis, malignancies, rheumatological diseases and orbital trauma should be considered in differential diagnosis. Corticosteroids are used in treatment, and response to treatment is usually rapid. In cases that do not respond to corticosteroid therapy, radiotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy can be applied. Herein, we to present a 13-year-old boy who was referred to our hospital after unsuccessful oral antibiotic treatment at another institution with a preliminary diagnosis of orbital cellulitis due to edema and redness in the orbita. Orbital pseudotumor should be kept in mind in cases unresponsive to antibiotic treatment for preseptal/orbital cellulitis.
