    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Computed tomography (CT) significantly improves orbital tumor localization but has limitations in providing specific histologic diagnoses. This review highlights these limitations based on recent clinical experiences.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized the preoperative assessment of orbital pathologies.
    • Accurate localization of orbital tumors and other lesions is crucial for surgical planning.

    Observation:

    • CT excels in identifying the location, size, and extent of orbital abnormalities.
    • However, CT imaging alone often cannot differentiate between various tumor types or inflammatory processes.
    • Histologic examination remains the gold standard for definitive diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Selected cases demonstrate the limitations of CT in achieving specific histologic diagnoses.
    • Radiologic findings can be nonspecific, leading to potential diagnostic challenges.
    • Experience highlights the need for integrating imaging with clinical and other diagnostic data.

    Implications:

    • Understanding CT limitations is vital for interpreting orbital imaging results.
    • Multimodality approaches are necessary for accurate preoperative diagnosis of orbital conditions.
    • Improved diagnostic accuracy can lead to better patient outcomes and tailored treatment strategies.
