Abstract
Background : Pseudotumor of orbit is an unusual clinical entity with incidence of about 4-6%. Case Report : A 26-year-old man presenting with redness, cystic swelling and pain at the medial aspect of the right eye since 1 week but was not associated with proptosis and ptosis. Considering the age and clinical presentation of the patient, all differential diagnosis of conjunctival cystic and inflammatory lesions were considered. Relevant laboratory investigations were performed but were normal except eosinophilia and raised ESR. Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging reports were suggestive of IOIS. The patient was managed conservatively with favourable outcome. Conclusion : All conjunctival cystic lesions need not to be operated unless confirmed otherwise. Keywords : Idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome(IOIS),orbital pseudotumor, eosinophilia, immune mediated, conjunctival cystic lesions, proptosis, case report.
