Abstract :

pseudotumor is a non granulomatous inflammatory processin the orbit or eye in which a local or systemic cause cannot be found. It constitutes the third most common ophthalmic disorder after graves disease and lymphoproliferative disorders with 5–8% reported incidence. The intracranial extension of orbital pseudotumor is rare(8.8% in a computed tomography series) and usually involves the middle cranial fossa and the cavernous sinus through superior orbital fissure. Here we report a case of orbital pseudotumor with MRI suggestive of intracranial extension.
