MRI of bilateral orbits in the axial plane; (A) Restricted diffusion is observed in right eye globe on DWI (white arrow) and subretinal space of left globe (black arrow), which corresponds to an area of low apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value, (B) Representing exudates/pus, (C)T2W image showing a deformed right globe with a vitreous collection (white arrow) and (D) Axial T1WI demonstrates bilateral retro-orbital fat stranding (white arrow) and exudative vitreoretinal detachments (black arrow).
