"Diagnosis is usually made clinically; however, imaging may help to exclude complications and identify causes of pathology. Imaging is indicated to exclude orbital cellulitis or orbital abscess; both of which are uncommon as the orbital septum acts as a barrier preventing post septal spread. Additionally, imaging is indicated to exclude certain aetiologies such as retained foreign bodies, dacryoliths and neoplasms which are relative contraindications to certain surgical techniques 3."
