Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Radiology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Orbital tumors present complex diagnostic challenges.
  • Accurate anatomical assessment is vital for effective treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze anatomical alterations in orbital tumoral pathology.
  • To emphasize the significance of computed tomographic (CT) examination in diagnosing orbital tumors.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 215 patients examined between 1998-2002.
  • Utilized computed tomography (CT) with contiguous axial sections (2-5 mm).
  • Administered intravenous non-ionic contrast for vascular and structural enhancement.

Main Results:

  • 41 out of 215 patients exhibited positive orbital tumoral pathology.

  • Optic nerve tumors were most frequent (12 cases), including glioma (9) and meningioma (3).
  • Vascular tumors were the second most common finding (11 cases).

    • Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) demonstrates high diagnostic performance for orbital tumors.
    • CT is recommended as a routine and preferred investigation method for orbital tumoral pathology.
