Sono stati riesaminati i casi di patologia orbitaria non traumatica giunti alla nostra osservazione negli ultimi 10 anni di attività. Al fine di ottimizzare il percorso diagnostico per ciascun tipo di patologia sono stati confrontati i dati neuroradiologici con quelli clinici dei singoli pazienti. Sono stati cosi selezionati differenti gruppi di patologie in funzione dei principali sintomi di esordio. Per ogni gruppo di patologie vengono discussi le possibilità e i limiti dello studio neuroradiologico e viene identificata l'indagine eventualmente più informativa.
