Case Discussion
Patient came for imaging following a histopathological diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma. Prime purpose of imaging is to know intra orbital extension and involvement of extra ocular muscles if any. Periocular basal cell carcinoma is one the most common malignancies of the eyelid in old age. Ocular invasion is uncommon, but when it does, it leads to vision problems, secondary to extra ocular muscle invasion.
