- Review orbital and periorbital anatomy - Describe imaging features of orbital inflammatory and infectious processes - Discuss pertinent findings important to clinician to direct diagnosis and biopsy

1. Review orbital and periorbital anatomy a. Structures within the orbits (globe, extraocular muscles, lacrimal glands, etc) b. Pertinent periorbital structures (paranasal sinuses, cavernous sinus) 2. Orbital infections a. Orbital cellulitis b. Complications of bacterial and invasive fungal sinusitis 3. Orbital inflammation a. Common causes i. Thyroid eye disease ii. Nonspecific orbital inflammation (pseudotumor) b. Uncommon causes i. Sarcoidosis ii. Wegener’s granulomatosis iii. Lupus, scleroderma iv. IgG4 4. Management of orbital inflammation and infection a. When to biopsy and when can biopsy be avoided 5. Summary a. Clear understanding of orbital anatomy is vital to accurate assessment and diagnosis b. Orbital cellulitis and complications of bacterial and invasive fungal sinusitis are important to recognize and describe accurately c. Most common cause of orbital inflammation is thyroid eye disease d. Close clinical, surgical, and pathological correlation to better understand orbital inflammation, its course, and management
