What is orbital pseudotumor?
Orbital pseudotumor is a non cancerous swelling of the tissues behind the eye (orbit). The orbit is the bony area of the skull surrounding the eye. It protects the eyeball and the muscles and tissue that surround it. Some symptoms include pain, swelling, and decreased eye movement.
