description We present a case of idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) in a pediatric patient that was initially diagnosed as orbital cellulitis. A seven-year-old female presented with painful right upper eyelid swelling and ptosis and an upper respiratory tract infection. Ruling out secondary causes that are sight and life-threatening conditions is prudent. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is crucial in the diagnosis and management of IOI. Consulting with different specialties aids in diagnosing and managing the condition, and thus optimizing patient care.
