Abstract
Two-year old hoy with idiopathic orbital inflammation admitted with left eyelids edema, redness and heat. He received broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy showing no improvement. He was taken to the operating room due to worsening of the condition 's status and an image guided biopsy of the tissues was conducted. Based on the macroscopic aspect, a therapeutic test with corticosteroids was initiated with an excellent response. The histopathology report revealed idiopathic orbital inflammation which has multiple differential diagnoses that require different treatments. Other potentially life-threatening conditions were out ruled this way.
