title: [Developmental aspects of inflammatory pseudotumors of the orbit. Apropos of 15 cases].
abstract: Authors report clinical and computed tomographic evolutive course of 15 cases of orbital idiopathic inflammatory pseudotumors. 3 patients had complete disappearance of the symptoms but did not have a computed tomography scanning control, 3 patients had clinical and CT recovery. 4 had clinical resolving with a CT-residual hyperdensity. 5 patients had a partial response to treatment with a CT residual hyperdensity in 4 cases. Sequelae were not very important except one case with a loss vision and ophthalmoplegia. Authors tried to analyse the evolutive course, clinical and/or CT scan sequelae, and to specify the prognostic factors. CT scanning permits a precise anatomic assessment of orbital lesions, and the localisation of the pseudotumor is often in correlation with the therapeutic response. Asymptomatic residual hyperdensity on CT were not very known until now.
