In this short review, we go through case-based imaging tips for selected common presentations of orbital pathologies. The cases covered relate to presentations of proptosis, pain, ophthalmoplegia/difficulty with eye movements and palpable mass. CT and MR imaging are the most frequently requested modalities when patients present acutely or with more chronic orbital pathologies. Ultrasound has […]

Neurodivergence refers to variations in the way we perceive the environment or act upon it from what is considered as standard (neurotypical) in the human brain.
