    Sclerosing orbital pseudotumor, a rare orbital inflammatory condition, presents with eye pain and vision loss. This variant may not respond to steroids and requires careful diagnosis to avoid unnecessary surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Orbital pseudotumor is a diverse group of orbital inflammatory conditions.
    • Sclerosing pseudotumor is a variant characterized by significant fibrosis.
    • Limited information exists regarding the clinical significance of fibrosis in orbital pseudotumor.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with exophthalmos, visual loss, abnormal ocular mobility, and pain.
    • Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed orbital apex masses.
    • Steroid treatment was ineffective in both cases.

    Findings:

    • Sclerosing orbital pseudotumor was diagnosed after orbital exploration.
    • This variant exhibits unique clinical behavior, including resistance to steroids.

  • Visual loss and apical masses are key indicators, distinguishing it from typical orbital pseudotumor.

    • Implications:

    • Neurosurgeons should consider sclerosing orbital pseudotumor in cases of visual loss and orbital masses.
    • Accurate diagnosis can guide appropriate management, potentially avoiding invasive procedures.
    • Awareness of this entity may facilitate less invasive diagnostic approaches like transorbital biopsy.
