MRI findings of orbital cavernous heman-gioma

Objective To study MRI findings of orbital cavernous hemangioma. Methods Forty-six cases with orbital cavernous hemangioma underwent MRI plain scan, forty-four of which underwent enhanced scan. Results MRI may reflect the characteristics of tumors. We can make the all-directional diagnosis according to the findings of MRI to make clear the relationship between the tumors and the orbit and the optic nerve, and the characteristics of progressive enhancement. Conclusion We can diagnose orbital cavernous hemangioma through their signs, which is helpful to localiza- tion of the tumor and choice of different operation methods.
