Key Points

The aim is to visualize cranial nerves III-VI and the ciliary ganglion using fat-suppressed 3D FLAIR MRI.
Performed fat-suppressed 3D FLAIR MRI during brain imaging.
Focused on the visualization of cranial nerve anatomy.
No specialized sequences were required.
Successfully visualized orbital nerves of cranial nerves III-VI and ciliary ganglion.
Demonstrated the practicality of the MR neurography approach for future studies.

Abstract

Fat-suppressed 3D FLAIR imaging acquired as part of brain MRI enables visualization of orbital nerves of CN III-VI and the ciliary ganglion without specialized sequences. This practical MR neurography approach may support future studies of orbital nerve anatomy and subtle abnormalities.
