Abstract
Orbital lesions form a wide range of pathologies, that create challenges in diagnosis, management, and treatment. The high-resolution soft tissue detail provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has allowed for better lesion characterization. Especially in cases where history and clinical evaluation are insufficient, MRI plays a crucial role. MRI is also important in the detection of the extent of orbital diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the MRI characteristics of common and/or rare diseases arising from or extending into the orbita to aid radiologists in the correct diagnosis of orbital lesions.
