| description | Inflammatory
pseudotumor most commonly occurs in the orbit
and produces orbital pseudotumor, but extension
into brain parenchyma is uncommon. We report a
case of inflammatory pseudotumor involving
sphenoid sinus, cavernous sinus, superior
orbital fissure, orbital muscle, and intracranial
extension into left temporal lobe producing
right hemiparesis and wernicke's aphasia.
The patient improved clinically and
radiologically with steroid administration. This
paper provides an insight into the spectrum of
involvement of inflammatory pseudotumor and the
importance of early diagnosis of the benign
condition. |
