A member asked:
A friend has a droopy eyelid and the opthamologist has said he has a mass behind his eye and needs to have an mri. does this mean it is a tumor that likely needs to operated on or radiated? could their be some other mass less serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your friend's : doctor will likely be able to give him more information after the MRI results are available and the rest of the work up is complete. It would be difficult to try to answer this without the information that his evaluation will provide.
