Idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease
From Self-sufficiency
Idiopathic Orbital Inflammatory Disease, or orbital pseudotumor, refers to a marginated mass-like enhancing soft tissue involving any area of the orbit. It is the most common painful orbital mass in the adult population, and is associated with proptosis, cranial nerve palsy (Tolosa-Hunt syndrome), uveitis, and retinal detachment.
Treatment
Treatment involves steroids and radiation therapy, with biopsy considered in refractory or resistant cases to exclude an underlying neoplastic or autoimmune, or infectious etiology.[1]
