Figure 1
Photograph of the eyes of a 56 year-old male patient showing the left eye protruding outward (proptotic).
Figure 2
Figure 2
Multi-sequential multi-planar magnetic resonance images of the head (orbits with intravenous contrast) of a 56-year-old male patient. A & B: Axial and coronal T2-weighted images showing an oval-shaped lesion (asterisk) in the retrobulbar intraconal space of the left orbit displacing the glob anteriorly (arrowhead), the optic nerve inferomedially (white arrow) and the superior and lateral rectus muscles (red arrows) peripherally. The lesion shows homogenous intermediate to high signal intensity in T2-weighted images. C: Sagittal precontrast T1-weighted image showing that the lesion is isointense to the cerebral cortex (asterisk).
Figure 3
Figure 3
Axial T1-weighted post-intravenous Gadolinium- enhanced images in the (A) late arterial and (B) delayed phase showing progressive enhancement (solid white arrows). The lesion is almost completly enhanced on the delayed images.
