ABSTRACT

CLINICAL/METHODICAL ISSUE Inflammatory orbital processes on imaging are often misinterpreted as tumors. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL METHODS: Imaging comprises computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ACHIEVEMENTS Clinical and laboratory data play a crucial role in diagnosing many inflammatory orbital diseases. Radiological imaging provides a supporting but relevant role. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Clinical examination, including specialized ophthalmological examinations, laboratory diagnostics, and MRI are important in the diagnosis of inflammatory orbital diseases.
