Abstract EN
Orbital pseudotumor is a benign disease involving the orbital structures.
Pseudotumor of the ciliary body is rare.
We present a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with gradual visual loss, pain, and redness in his left eye.
On examination he was found to have a yellowish white mass at the periphery of anterior chamber in his left eye and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a ciliary body mass in the same eye.
He was treated with systemic steroids, which was tapered over a period of 8 weeks.
His symptoms improved and the ciliary body mass disappeared with no recurrence over the next 6 months.
UBM is an important diagnostic tool for diagnosing ciliary body mass.
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment with systemic steroids may help resolve pseudotumor of the ciliary body.
