Orbital pseudotumor, a common cause of painful proptosis, can present atypically. This case highlights a rare presentation without exophthalmos, successfully treated with steroids.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Orbital pseudotumor typically presents as painful proptosis with diplopia.
  • Differential diagnosis is crucial for conditions mimicking orbital pseudotumor.
  • Imaging and laboratory studies aid in diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old man presented with acute, painful ophthalmoplegia without exophthalmos.
  • Symptoms progressed to include vision loss, accommodation deficits, and pupillary abnormalities.
  • CT and MRI revealed an orbital apex mass.

Findings:

  • The patient received high-dose systemic steroid therapy.
  • Rapid symptom resolution occurred within hours of treatment initiation.
  • Follow-up MRI confirmed complete resolution of the orbital mass.

Implications:

  • This case represents an atypical presentation of orbital pseudotumor lacking exophthalmos.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment with steroids can lead to complete recovery.
  • Highlights the importance of considering atypical presentations in orbital inflammatory diseases.
