Description/Abstract | An orbital pseudotumor causing proptosis, diplopia, and gaze palsy was imaged with Ga-67 citrate and showed persistent intense activity for five days.^This may be the first case of gallium uptake into an orbital pseudotumor to be reported in the literature.^This case report demonstrates the use of Ga-67 citrate imaging in the early diagnostic workup of this disorder. |
