Orbital Pseudotumor treatment in Aguascalientes

When red eyes, pain, or bulging of the eye appear without a clear cause, evaluation by the ophthalmologist is essential. Orbital pseudotumor, also called idiopathic orbital inflammation, is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding the eye within the orbit that, despite its name, is not a cancer.

Common symptoms: Pain around the eye, redness, swelling of the eyelids, double vision, or a sensation that the eye is bulging.

When should you see a doctor? With eye pain and inflammation that appears relatively quickly and does not subside.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist leads the workup of orbital pseudotumor, and the neurosurgeon may intervene depending on the extent; the general practitioner guides the initial consultation. Having these signs reviewed promptly by a professional helps clarify the source of the problem.
