  Fig. 1 Fat-suppression T1-weighted gadolinium-enhanced orbit MRI and contrast-enhanced paranasal sinus CT in the patient. A: Fat-suppression T1-weighted gadolinium-enhanced orbit MRI does not reveal any signal change or enhancement in the bilateral optic nerves. Chronic nonspecific sinusitis was evident in the left posterior ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses (white arrow). The high signal intensity in the left orbit was due to a metallic artifact of the subject's denture (black arrow). B: Contrast-enhanced paranasal sinus CT revealed no specific abnormal density change or lesion in the bilateral orbits or optic nerves. Chronic nonspecific sinusitis was evident in the left posterior ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses (white arrow).
