Idiopathic Sclerotic Inflammation of the Orbit withLeft Optic Nerve Compression in a Patient with Multifocal Fibrosclerosis

Axial unenhanced T1-weighted scan (507/15/4) [TR/TE/excitations] of the anterior skull base. Extensive homogeneous, bilateral, intraconal masses with low signal intensity are visible. The conal muscles are displaced laterally (white open arrow). The ophthalmic artery is apparent at the apex of the orbit (small white arrow).fig 2. Axial enhanced T1-weighted scan (507/15/4) of the anterior skull base. Marked homogeneous enhancement of the intraconal masses (black arrow) is visible. The left optic nerve is encircled and compressed by the retrobulbar enhancing masses and appears thinned at its distal segment (curved black arrow). There is no pathologic enhancement of the intracranial structures.fig 3. Axial turbo spin-echo T2-weighted image (2000/120/6) of the anterior skull base. Bilateral, marked hypointense, intraconal, retrobulbar masses are visible. The laterally displaced conal muscles (white open arrows) and the posterior segment of the left optic nerve and its subarachnoid space (small white arrows) are clearly apparent. The more distal segment of the subarachnoid space of the left optic nerve is compressed (curved white arrow)
