Neuroimaging: An axial CT scan of the irregular lesion in the superior right orbit with a variable internal consistency. The lower axial view of the lesion in the region of the right Optic Nerve. An unenhanced axial view of an MRI scan showing the lesion in the superior portion of the right orbit. An unenhanced coronal MRI showing the lesion in the superior right orbit as a rounded lesion in the region of the superior rectus muscle.
