Abstract: The diagnosis of pediatric orbital and periorbital conditions is addressed by a combination of a good clinical history, examination, fundoscopy and imaging. The main imaging modalities available are ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This pictorial review focuses on the relative advantages of imaging methods in common pediatric orbital and periorbital pathology. Salient features of each condition will be discussed, providing key diagnostic signs to aid evaluation of children presenting with orbital symptoms and signs.
Keywords: Pediatrics, orbit and periorbital imaging, MRI, CT
