Inflammatory pseudotumour of the orbit is an unusual condition of unknown aetiology which rarely extends beyond the orbit. To our knowledge 19 cases with intracranial extension have been reported, none of which involved the pituitary fossa or sphenoid sinus. Most required cytotoxic agents, surgery or radiotherapy in addition to corticosteroids. We present a case of orbital pseudotumour with extension into the pituitary fossa, sphenoid sinus and cavernous sinuses with vascular compression. Marked clinical improvement occurred on steroid therapy alone.
眼眶炎性假瘤是一种病因不明的罕见疾病，很少超出眼眶范围。据我们所知，已有19例报告有颅内扩展，其中无一例累及垂体窝或蝶窦。大多数病例除皮质类固醇外还需要细胞毒性药物、手术或放疗。我们报告一例眼眶假瘤扩展至垂体窝、蝶窦和海绵窦并伴有血管受压的病例。仅用类固醇治疗后临床症状就有明显改善。
