Inflammatory Orbital Disease
Diagnosis of Inflammatory Orbital Disease
CT or MRI Similar symptoms and physical findings occur with inflammatory orbital pseudotumor and Preseptal and Orbital Cellulitis , but there is no history of trauma or adjacent focus of infection (eg, sinusitis) with inflammatory orbital pseudotumor. Neuroimaging with CT or MRI is required. A useful imaging feature in distinguishing an infection from noninfectious inflammation is the presence of adjacent sinus involvement in orbital infection. For chronic or recurrent disease, biopsy may be used to find evidence of an underlying medical condition. In thyroid eye disease, tendon-sparing enlargement of the inferior rectus and medial rectus muscles is common.
