Ophthalmologic disease in children.
MR imaging has become essential in the evaluation of a spectrum of ophthalmologic diseases in children. Orbit, globe, optic nerve, and optic tract disease processes that are frequently evaluated by MR imaging include congenital malformations, and inflammatory, neoplastic, and traumatic lesions. MR imaging evaluation aids in differentiating these lesions for diagnosis, the extent of disease, treatment planning, follow-up, and prognosis.
