The orbital pseudo-tumor is an orbital inflammatory disease of unknown origin that can affect all the anatomical structures that make up the orbit. The diagnosis is based on the assessment of clinical symptoms, imaging tests and the exclusion of other possible causes. Glucocorticosteroids are used for treatment, but other immunosuppressants as well as biological treatments can be used. The aim of the study is to present, based on the literature review, the current state of knowledge about pathogenesis, symptoms, differential diagnosis, and treatment of the orbital pseudotumor.
