Abstract

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging are the modalities of choice in the assessment of orbital neoplasms. Careful interpretation of the characteristic radiological features usually leads to the correct diagnosis; however, some of the lesions look very similar and are difficult to differentiate from each other. This contribution provides an overview of tumors of the eye and orbit and their appearance on CT and magnetic resonance imaging.
