title: Orbital pseudotumors.
abstract: Orbital pseudotumor is a clinical entity characterized by features of a space-occupying, non-specific inflammatory condition of the orbit. Diagnosis can be difficult, and the patient will often initially present to the otolaryngologist as an orbital complication of sinus disease, or as a severe upper respiratory tract infection. The recent experience of orbital pseudotumors at our center is presented with emphasis on the diagnosis and management of the disease process.
