We illustrate the spectrum of pathologic entities that affect the
orbit and its contents as shown by computed tomography (CT) and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on a serie of 100 patients. In
order to simplify the differential diagnosis and to be as close to
radiologic practice, we will discuss the diverse pathologic entities
according to their anatomic locations.
To do so, we have divided the orbit in the following six compartments :
globe optic nerve muscle bone and dura vascular lacrymal gland
In each anatomic area we will discuss the pathologies according to their frequency.
