The study was done to compare results of different imaging modalities Computed Tomography (CT scan) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with operative or histopathological diagnosis and to determine the accuracy of each. Forty patients with clinically or ultrasonographically diagnosed intraorbital masses were enrolled in the study who did not have any contraindication for contrast enhanced CT or MRI. A correct diagnosis was made in 37 patients and an incorrect diagnosis in 3 patients on CT scan while correct diagnosis was made on MRI in 38 patients and incorrect diagnosis was made in 2 patients. The clinical, surgical and histopathological findings were used as the gold standard for making a final diagnosis in these patients. There was an excellent agreement between CT and MRI in predicting extraorbital involvement, intracranial extension and optic nerve involvement. CT predicted bony involvement and areas of calcification better whereas MRI was better in predicting extraocular muscle involvement.
