Abstract
In three patients with histiocytosis X of bone with orbital involvement, CT scans were reviewed. Consistent findings included a destructive lesion of the lateral wall of the orbit with a large soft-tissue component that extended into the extraconal space, the ocular adnexa, and the infratemporal fossa. The greater wing of the sphenoid was eroded in all cases, with epidural extension into the middle cranial fossa. Cavernous sinus involvement and a second bone lesion were seen in two patients.
