title: CT diagnosis of orbital inflammation in children.
abstract: The computed tomographic (CT) examination and medical records of fourteen children with orbital inflammatory disease were analyzed to determine which signs predicted or correlated with the clinical course. The preseptal space, the orbit and the sinuses are imaged simultaneously allowing accurate definition of the extent of disease. CT signs of inflammatory disease in each of these compartments are discussed.
