Figures & data

Table 1. Summary of qualitative radiological features encountered in this series.

Figure 1. Coronal CE FS T1 of left orbital cellulitis. There is predominantly inferomedial orbital fat involvement and diffuse contrast-enhancement of the EOMs.

Figure 2. Coronal MRI orbits of right orbital cellulitis. A, demonstrates contrast-enhancement of the enlarged right lateral rectus and adjacent supero-lateral extraconal fat on CE FS T1. B, demonstrates the prior stated changes, along with the loss of distinct margins of the lateral rectus, and peri-neuritis on CE FS T1. C, demonstrates high T2 signal of the respective lateral rectus and orbital fat.

Figure 3. Coronal CE FS T1 of right orbital cellulitis. Extraocular muscle involvement in bacterial orbital cellulitis demonstrated by loss of distinct margins of the right lateral rectus and superior muscle group in areas contiguous with orbital fat inflammation.
