Idiopathic Orbital Pseudotumor Preceding Systemic Inflammatory Disease in Children

Abstract

Orbital pseudotumor may be an antecedent to systemic inflammatory disease in children. Because this was a small case series, the authors are not ready to suggest that a full systemic work-up for systemic inflammatory disease is warranted for every patient with orbital pseudotumor. However, close observation and suspicion for systemic inflammatory conditions may be reasonable in children who present with idiopathic orbital pseudotumor.
