Abstract EN
Idiopathic orbital pseudotumor is a benign, noninfectious, and nonneoplastic disease with unknown cause.
It is the third most common orbital disease after thyroid orbitopathy and lymphoproliferative disorder.
Idiopathic orbital pseudotumor is extremely rare in pediatric age group and may cause real diagnostic problems.
This paper describes a 4-year-old girl who presented with sudden ptosis in the right eye and swollen eyelid.
She recovered completely with high-dose steroid therapy.
We report clinical and magnetic resonance imaging findings of orbital myositis, which is a rare subtype of idiopathic orbital pseudotumor in children and needs to be differentiated from other orbital disease especially malignancy.
