Abstract
Orbital lesions in both children and adults comprise a wide range of both benign and malignant tumors. The benign tumors include schwannomas and neurofibromas in patients with neurofibromatosis. Malignant tumors include lymphoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and metastases. Other lesions such as idiopathic orbit inflammation, sarcoidosis, Gravess’ eye disease, and vascular lesions such as venous malformations may mimic orbital tumors both clinically and radiographically. Knowledge of the imaging features of these and other orbital tumors and diseases is important for patient care and to avoid permanent symptoms such as vision loss and other consequences.
