Nilesh Chaudhari | Parag Garse | Shopnil Prasla
Abstract: Background In the modality of choice in most cases of orbital pathologies, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an obligatory diagnostic technique due to its better soft tissue contrast resolution and no ionizing radiation property. Purpose of studyOur aim was to study role of MRI finding in various orbital etiologies and importance of MRI in differentiating various orbital pathologies. Results Total 35 patients were testified with various conditions. Variety of study showed that 11 (31.4 %) out of 35 patients were encountered with common etiology of infective/inflammatory lesions followed by neoplastic lesion in 7 (20 %) patients, Vascular condition had 5 (14.2 %) patients, 2 (5.7 %) patients with congenital lesions and 4 (11.4 %) patients with endocrine pathology were diagnosed. Paranasal sinus lesion with orbital extension was seen in the 6 (17.1 %) patient. Conclusion MRI plays significant role in the diagnosis of numerous orbital pathologies.
