Ophthalmology Findings on Brain Scans: A Pictorial Essay

Abdulwahab F. Alahmari

Abstract


The aim of this paper is to highlight some of the ophthalmological findings on brain scans. This paper will present uncommon findings that must be noticed during interpreting radiology scans. The eye balls or orbits generally, are in the blind spot during reading a brain scan. The prevalence of these findings is low among all patients, but still seen in a few cases.    


Keywords


Ophthalmology, Imaging, Brain, Scan, Blind Spot.
