CT and MRI of orbital abnormalities in neurofibromatosis and selected craniofacial anomalies.

This article begins with a discussion of normal orbital anatomy and the terminology involved in the description of abnormalities of the orbit. Case reports of patients with neurofibromatosis or with a craniofacial anomaly are presented, and the characteristic orbital findings on both CT and MRI are reviewed. Thus the radiologist's role and the value of CT and MRI in the overall treatment of these often complex abnormalities are elucidated.
