| Summary: | With rapid development in imaging techniques their role in diagnosis, management and follow up of cases in Ophthalmology has increased multifold. Need for imaging can be diverse more so when there is a diagnostic dilemma. Neuroimaging however can only supplement a good clinical examination and never replace it. In all cases of suspected intracranial lesion, it is important to clinically localise it so that the appropriate investigation with correct site is imaged. A wrong investigation or one that does not image the site of likely lesion is more dangerous than no investigation as it leads us into a sense of complacency and may delay diagnosis with fatal outcomes. The current article gives a set of guidelines for imaging in cases where good clinical examination may not provide the answer. |
