title: Diagnostic imaging of cystic lesions in the child's orbit.
abstract: The child's orbit may be involved with a variety of cysts and cyst-like lesions. Such lesions may represent development anomalies of the globe and orbit, acquired lesions of the orbit, or cystic expansions from contiguous structures. CT and MR imaging are important diagnostic tools that aid the ophthalmologist in establishing the correct diagnosis and defining the extent of these cystic lesions.
