Abstract

Radiological assessment of the orbital apex is essential for diagnosing and depicting the extent of pathologies that can occur in this compact, strategically important location in the head and neck. This chapter aims to describe the radiological anatomy of the orbital apex, discuss the principle of imaging, and illustrate the diverse range of orbital apex pathologies commonly encountered in clinical practice.
