Abstract

Idiopathic orbital inflammation or orbital pseudotumor is rare in the pediatric population and may present with ocular findings not normally seen in the adult population. The authors report the case of a 14-year-old boy with idiopathic orbital inflammation who presented with bilateral panuveitis to highlight the features that make this diagnosis more difficult in the pediatric population.
