Vascular lesions in the orbit. 1996

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Mayo Medical School and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.

Vascular lesions in the postbulbar region of the orbit include hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, dural arteriovenous fistulae, aneurysms, varices, and hematic cysts. The heterogeneous nature of the group indicates the diverse origins of the different entities. Cross-sectional imaging, including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, is used for the majority of these lesions, although special computed tomography and magnetic resonance techniques and selective arteriography occasionally are needed for specific indications.

D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D006222	Hamartoma	A focal malformation resembling a neoplasm, composed of an overgrowth of mature cells and tissues that normally occur in the affected area.	Hamartomas
D006391	Hemangioma	A vascular anomaly due to proliferation of BLOOD VESSELS that forms a tumor-like mass. The common types involve CAPILLARIES and VEINS. It can occur anywhere in the body but is most frequently noticed in the SKIN and SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE.
