Idiopathic sclerosing pseudotumor of the orbit is a unique clinico-pathologic entity, similar to retroperitoneal fibrosis, that is characterized by primary, chronic and immunologically mediated fibrosis, poor response to corticosteroid treatment or radiotherapy and frequent visual disability. The clinical and pathologic findings of our case are reviewed.
