Orbital pseudotumor presenting as acute glaucoma with choroidal and retinal detachment.
A 68-year-old woman presented with acute visual loss, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), and a flat anterior chamber combined with retinal and choroidal detachment. The diagnosis of orbital pseudotumor was based on the patient's poor response to conventional therapy and on computerized tomography and ultrasound findings. After treatment with oral corticosteroids, the inflammatory process, elevated IOP, and choroidal and retinal detachment resolved.
