 Two cases of breast cancer with bilateral orbital metastases associated with intracranial metastases are presented. Case 1:A 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer 14 years earlier presented with rapid deterioration of visual acuity, eye pain, and limitation of left-sided extraocular motility. Magnetic resonance(MR)images showed an enhanced lesion in the left orbital apex, ethmoid sinus, and right middle fossa. The first gamma knife radiotherapy(35 Gy, 5 Fr)was performed successfully, but was followed by recurrence 18 months later in the right intraorbital, where newly formed iso-intensity masses in the extraconal compartment were found. The second gamma knife radiosurgery was performed for three masses(20 Gy). Case 2:A 35-year-old woman with breast cancer who was diagnosed 22 months earlier was treated for meningeal carcinomatosis by whole-brain radiation(30 Gy, 10 Fr)and intrathecal chemotherapy. Eight months later, swelling in both eyelids and limitation of extraocular motility developed rapidly. MR imaging revealed an infiltrating lesion in the cone with heterogenous signal that was encasing, but not infiltrating the optic nerves. The extraconal lesion extended into the soft tissue of the lower eye lid. She expired one week after diagnosis. With the increasing number of long-term survivors with breast cancer, intraorbital metastases may be found during the course of treatment for intracranial lesions. Understanding the unique clinical presentation and characteristic MR findings of this rare entity are emphasized.
