Pressure variations in the SAS of the central nervous system can be transmitted to the optic papilla through the perioptic space. Variations in the diameter of the perioptic space serve as an important indicator for select intracranial pathologies in the pediatric population. Though the perioptic space can be evaluated using various imaging modalities, MRI is considered highly effective due to its superior soft tissue resolution. With advancement in MR imaging techniques, high-resolution images of the orbits can provide improved visualization of the perioptic space. It is imperative for the pediatric radiologist to routinely assess the perioptic space on brain and orbit MR imaging, as it can prompt exploration for additional features associated with select intracranial pathologies, thus improving diagnostic accuracy. This article reviews basic anatomy of the perioptic space, current understanding of the CSF dynamics between the perioptic space and central nervous system SAS, various imaging modalities utilized in the assessment of the perioptic space, MRI sequences and the optimal parameters of specific sequences, normal appearance of the perioptic space on MR imaging, and various common pediatric pathologies which cause alteration in the perioptic space.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50680,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Imaging","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140777013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
