Abstract
Orbital lesions in the pediatric population vary from adults in terms of their presentation, unique pathology, and imaging characteristics. The prompt and accurate diagnosis of these lesions is imperative to prevent serious consequences in terms of visual impairment and disfigurement. Along with dedicated ophthalmologic examination, imaging is instrumental in characterizing these lesions, both for accurate diagnosis and subsequent management. In our pictorial essay, we provide a basic review of orbital embryology, anatomy, and congenital orbital pathologies, with emphasis on radiological findings.Entities:
