Idiopathic Inflammatory Orbital Pseudotumor in Childhood

Cystoid Macular Edema as an Initial Symptom of Inflammatory Orbital Pseudotumor

“…These reports cannot be compared, because the diagnostic methods, the severity of the patients' conditions and patient ages differ [2,[7][8][9][10][11]. However, pseudotumor with intracra nial extension is rare [7,[12][13][14], and only 1 case reported by Noble et al [14] showed a serious course similar to that which we observed.…”

“…The prognosis of pseudotumor varies; some investiga tors concluded that steroids have a marked effect in all cases, and others believe that other therapies including radi ation are required in more than half of the patients [2,[7][8][9][10][11]. These reports cannot be compared, because the diagnostic methods, the severity of the patients' conditions and patient ages differ [2,[7][8][9][10][11].…”

Adolescent With Right Orbital Swelling and Proptosis

“…Children frequently had systemic symptoms, such as headache, anorexia, fever, and malaise. 2,5 The diagnosis of IOIS is one of exclusion. The complete blood cell count and inflammatory markers usually are within normal limits.…”

Familial orbital myositis

“…Familial OM is also suggested in a case study of a child with painful ophthalmoplegia, whose sibling and cousin had medial rectus myositis [6]. The present report suggests a genetic predisposition in some cases of OM.…”
