Abstract:
Diagnosis of orbital pseudotumor remains rare in Crohn's disease; to the best of our knowledge, only six cases have been reported. In these cases, the diagnosis of Crohn's disease was made before or pending that of the orbital pseudotumor. In the present paper, we present and discuss a new case with a concomitant evolution between these two diagnoses. In our case, the diagnosis of orbital pseudotumor was made two years before that of Crohn's disease. Orbital biopsy showed a polyclonal monomorphous lymphoid infiltration and supported the hypothesis that orbital inflammation in Crohn's disease is indirect and is probably due to immune-mediated disorders.
