ABSTRACT

High contrast resolution and capacity for differentiation of tissues contained in the orbit make magnetic resonance a very useful tool in detection and characterization of different pathological processes in the eye ball and the components of the intraconal and extraconal space.
The objective of this article is to describe and illustrate the anatomy of the orbit and its contents, and the main findings in different magnetic resonance sequences, for the main pathological processes of congenital, infectious/inflammatory, tumorous, and vascular origin that affect the eye and its adjacent tissues at pediatric age.
Precise knowledge of the normal features of the different components of the orbit, their location and interrelationship, and the principal morphological findings and different behavior in each magnetic resonance sequence used to evaluate congenital, infectious/inflammatory, tumorous, and vascular pathology of the eye ball and adjacent structures is of great importance as part of multidisciplinary management of this small space which, in addition to involving tissue of the three germ layers, is intimately related to the central nervous system and the paranasal sinuses, for which reason a precise evaluation of the origin and extension of the disease is necessary for proper management and monitoring.
Magnetic resonance is a useful imaging method for detection, characterization, and determination of the extension of various pathological processes of the eye ball and its adjacent tissues. Imaging specialists need to be familiar with ocular anatomy and the principal manifestations of each entity to provide clear and precise information for management and monitoring of each patient.
