Abstract
The vast majority of orbital inflammations are related to thyroid eye disease or idiopathic orbital inflammation. However, the differential diagnosis includes a number of relatively rare systemic diseases that may manifest primarily or solely in the orbit with unique or characteristic imaging and histopathology. The purpose of this review is to point out the systemic, ocular, and orbital manifestations that aid in the differential diagnosis. Based upon these observations, appropriate diagnostic testing and treatment options can be defined.VBorbitalpathologyorbitalinflammatio
