Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the role of computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of Orbital Tumors.
Material and Methods: Fifty patients presenting with orbital masses were evaluated by CT scan orbits. Role of CT was evaluated in localizing and extention of the orbital masses causing proptosis. Final diagnosis was arrived after correlation between histopathology operative findings and response to treatment.
Results: Pseudotumor orbit was the most common orbital tumour (26%) followed by lymphoma (18%). Among paediatric population optic nerve glioma (10%), haemangioma (8%) followed by dermoid (6%). Accuracy of CAT scan in diagnosing orbital lesions was (86%) with sensitivity for benign lesions higher (90.3%) than malignant lesions (78.9%).
Conclusion: Computed tomography is a cost effective method of evaluating orbital tumours (86%).
