Tailor TD et al. Radiographics, 2013. THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS ORBITAL ANATOMY Conal compartment: extraocular muscles Tailor TD et al. Radiographics, 2013.
APPROACH TO DDx CLASSICAL APPROACH LOCATION-BASED APPROACH THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS APPROACH TO DDx CLASSICAL APPROACH Etiology: inflammation – infection – neoplasm – trauma Comprehensive DDx: not clinically helpful LOCATION-BASED APPROACH Anatomy: conal – intraconal – extraconal – intraocular Concise DDx: helpful for clinician
APPROACH TO DDx CLINICAL FINDINGS MIMICKERS THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS APPROACH TO DDx CLINICAL FINDINGS Age, duration, pain, uni- or bilateral Crucial for further narrowing DDx MIMICKERS Metastases, lymphoproliferative diseases, sarcoidosis, idiopathic orbital inflammation Variety of imaging presentations May involve several orbital structures
CASE 1 70 year-old female Painless left-sided exophthalmos Since 3 months Medical history: / Fundoscopy: normal
CECT Extraconal mass, inferomedial side of left orbit CASE 1 CECT Extraconal mass, inferomedial side of left orbit Extension to inferior nasal meatus Uniform contrast enhancement
Bone remodeling with dilation of nasolacrimal duct CASE 1 CECT Bone remodeling with dilation of nasolacrimal duct
Low to intermediate signal intensity CASE 1 T1-WI T2-WI T2 WI: intermediate to low SI due to high cellular nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio Low to intermediate signal intensity
CASE 1 fs T1-WI + Gd Uniform enhancement Absence of necrosis
DWI ADC Restricted diffusion CASE 1 Restricted diffusion: high cellularity water moves less freely Restricted diffusion
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS CASE 1 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS CRUCIAL FINDINGS 70 year-old female Rapid onset of painless exophthalmos Extraconal orbital mass MRI: low SI, diffusion restriction: high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Lacrimal sac tumor Lymphoproliferative disease
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT CASE 1 DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT BIOPSY: LYMPHOMA B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma 24% of all space-occupying orbital tumors in patients older than 60 years 30% of patients will develop systemic lymphoma within next 10 years TREATMENT: CHEMOTHERAPY Bendamustine + Rituximab
CASE 2 50-year old male Right-sided enophthalmos Longstanding Sensation of eye displacement when blowing nose Medical history: /
CASE 2 CT Right-sided enophthalmos No intra-orbital abnormalities
CT Heterogeneous opacification of maxillary sinus CASE 2 CT Heterogeneous opacification of maxillary sinus Volume loss, inferior displacement of orbital floor
Thin-walled sinus, no erosions, small calcifications CASE 2 CT CECT Thin-walled sinus, no erosions, small calcifications Minimal enhancement
Fat proliferation in infratemporal fossa CASE 2 T1-WI T2-WI T1-WI: low SI T2-WI: high SI Fat proliferation in infratemporal fossa
CASE 2 fs T1-WI + Gd Mucosal enhancement
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS CASE 1 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS CRUCIAL FINDINGS 50 year-old male Longstanding right-sided enophthalmos Right-sided maxillary sinus Complete opacification Volume loss Thin osseous walls

TAKE HOME MESSAGES ORBITAL IMAGING Location-based: globe – muscle cone – extraconal – intraconal Clinical findings Mimickers: lymphoproliferative diseases, metastases, sarcoidosis, idiopathic orbital inflammation Paranasal sinuses
