Orbital pseudotumor, also known as orbital inflammatory pseudotumor (OIP), idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI), or idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome (IOIS), is a benign, noninfectious, nonneoplastic, space-occupying, inflammatory condition of the orbit and peri-orbit without identifiable local or systemic causes. This condition can affect any or all of the orbit’s structures, including the lacrimal gland, extraocular muscles, optic nerve, and surrounding soft tissues. Despite its name suggesting a tumor-like appearance, orbital pseudotumor is characterized by an inflammatory reaction rather than neoplastic features. The exact cause of orbital pseudotumor is poorly understood, but it is thought to involve an abnormal immune response or inflammatory process.This activity provides an in-depth review of current theories on the etiology, clinical manifestations, and pathogenesis of orbital pseudotumor. It covers differential diagnosis, laboratory and imaging tests, and treatment options for managing this condition. Additionally, this activity discusses the roles of the interprofessional healthcare team in implementing best practices for diagnosing, treating, preventing complications, and managing patients with orbital pseudotumor to improve patient outcomes. By participating in this activity, healthcare professionals can enhance their diagnostic and therapeutic skills to better care for patients with this complex inflammatory condition of the orbit.
