Primary intraosseous hemangioma of the orbit: CT and MR appearance
C Sweet, R Silbergleit and B Mehta
Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI 48202, USA.
An 8-year-old girl had acute onset of blurred vision, proptosis, and lateral and vertical gaze palsies on the right. CT and MR examinations showed an expansile mass involving the greater wing of the right sphenoid bone. Pathologic analysis of the surgical specimen revealed a capillary hemangioma. The lesion was inhomogeneous but predominantly isointense with gray matter on T1-weighted images. On T2-weighted images the lesion was inhomogeneous with areas of both high and low signal intensity. The rim enhanced uniformly, and there was inhomogeneous enhancement of the bulk of the lesion.
