Prior Study
Findings
Orbit, Sinonasal, Cavernous and Skull Base
There is no primary sinonasal, bone or skull base rather than a primary orbital disease process that might be causative and producing the patient’s painful left periorbital swelling.
The pre-septal soft tissues on the left side including the lacrimal sac are abnormal. The lacrimal sac appears swollen, especially compared with right side as seen on axial and coronal reformatted images.
The lacrimal gland is normal. The bones and bony margins of the orbit including are normal.
There is no structural abnormality or infiltrating process of the post-septal components of the orbit including the globes and optic nerve and sheath; all of the changes are preseptal.
The remainder of the visual pathways and intracranial structures are normal for the patient’s age.
