Abstract
Clinical examination combined with US may be sufficient for diagnosis and follow-up of benign and superficial lesions. CT and/or MRI are needed for deep or malignant lesions. CT is valuable for osseous and/or calcified lesions. MR is advantageous because of its superior spatial resolution and non-ionizing nature. Malignant tumors correspond to about 20% of lesions and include primary tumors (retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma) and metastases. Benign pathology is more frequent (80%) with dermoid cyst corresponding to about 50% of orbital masses.
