Diagnosing unusual conditions
MRI
Pearl’s right eye socket was swollen so the eye was protruding about 2 mm beyond the other. An Open MRI was done of the orbits and the brain. Findings were normal for the socket. Gadopentatate was used as the tracer. Several MRIs were done during the course of her illness both at local hospitals and at the remote Clinic – some of these used gadolinium as the tracer. Pearl seemed to tolerate the tracers well.
