    AbstractThe orbit and globe can be secondarily involved in various systemic diseases. These range from tumor and tumorlike conditions, metabolic, infective, inflammatory, granulomatous demyelinating diseases, and skeletal dysplasias. In this article, we discuss the imaging appearances of the remaining systemic pathologies affecting the orbit such as (1) endocrine or metabolic, (2) infectious, (3) inflammatory or granulomatous, (4) demyelinating diseases, and (5) skeletal dysplasias. As the imaging appearances of various systemic diseases tend to overlap, we also introduce a list of pattern-based systemic differential diagnoses for commonly encountered orbital imaging findings. Awareness of the imaging appearances of the various ophthalmic manifestations of systemic diseases can help a radiologist to suggest the most appropriate differential diagnosis to guide further workup and facilitate correct treatment.Copyright © 2014 Mosby, Inc.
