    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Oncology

    Background:

    • Orbital pseudotumor is a rare inflammatory condition affecting the eye socket, particularly uncommon in pediatric populations.
    • Diagnosis typically requires biopsy confirmation, distinguishing it from other orbital masses.

    Observation:

    • Presents three pediatric cases of biopsy-proven orbital pseudotumor.
    • Includes the youngest reported patient at three months old.
    • Notes differing clinical presentations in older children, lacking typical constitutional symptoms and orbital pain.

    Findings:

    • Two patients responded well to systemic corticosteroid therapy.
    • One patient required radiation therapy for mass reduction.
    • Demonstrates variability in clinical presentation and treatment response.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering orbital pseudotumor in pediatric patients with orbital masses.
    • Suggests a tailored approach to treatment based on patient age and symptom presentation.
    • Informs clinical management strategies for this rare pediatric condition.
