    Axial (A) and coronal (B) CT scans of the orbits with intravenous contrast demonstrate symmetric, bilateral rim-enhancing hypodense collections in the supero-lateral orbit consistent with abscesses of the lacrimal gland. Also seen is opacification of the frontal and anterior ethmoid sinuses and of the left maxillary sinus.
