In a patient with features indicating the presence of pseudotumor cerebri, a negative cranial CT-scan is not adequate to rule out less benign pathology and an MRI of brain should be performed. In this study, a 10-year old boy with daily headaches for one month and diplopia for one week was found to have a partial abducens palsy and bilateral papilledema; otherwise, his examination was normal. A...

CASE PRESENTATION A 57-year-old white female, with a 3-month history of headache and right palpebral edema, p...

An inflammatory pseudotumor of the spleen is a rare benign tumor and designated as mass-like lesions with histologic features of nonspecific inflammation and mesenchymal repair although its etiopathogenesis still remains unknown. Here we describe the case of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the spleen in a 57-year-old woman, whose lesion was accidentally found and thought to be lymphoma at first....

Orbital pseudotumor is a benign disease involving the orbital structures. Pseudotumor of the ciliary body is rare. We present a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with gradual visual loss, pain, and redness in his left eye. On examination he was found to have a yellowish white mass at the periphery of anterior chamber in his left eye and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) revealed a ciliary b...

Ocular manifestations in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are relatively frequent, with a major prevalence of the Keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Nevertheless, the appearance of unilateral exophthalmos secondary to orbital pseudotumor in patients with SLE is extremely rare,1-7 and on occasion it can be refractory to conventional pharmacological treatment (glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants). ...

This can occur in relationship to different bearing surfaces of head and liner ranging from soft to hard articulation. There is wide spectrum of presentation from asymptomatic to implant failure. CASE REPORT We report a case of pseudotumor formation with acetabular cup aseptic loosening after revision...
