Orbital Myositis. Idiopathic Inflammatory Pseudotumor of Orbit (#3), CAT-scan
Proptosis of right globe. Right optic nerve bulky and streaky in outline and appearance. Marked enhancement noted following intravenous contrast. Areas with lack of contrast noted within right optic nerve suggestive of necrosis. Lateral rectus enlargement involving the tendon. The superior ophthalmic vein not engorged. Differential diagnosis: Ethmoidal sinusitis. The long history of 3 months speaks against orbital phlegmon.
