Abstract :

Proptosis is defined as forward abnormal orbital globe protrusion. We evaluated total 40 cases of proptosis with various age group ranging from 3 years to 75 years, Male comprising 27 cases and Female comprising 13 cases. Most common cause of proptosis was neoplastic seen in 20 patients (50%), followed by inflammatory in 8 cases (20%), infection in 6 cases (15%), trauma in 4 cases (10%), and vascular in 2 cases (5%). Unilateral proptosis was seen in 35 patients (87%), and bilateral in 5 patients (13%). Extraconal compartment involvement seen in 21 cases (52.5%). Enlarged extraocular muscles were seen in 20 cases (50%). Bone destruction was seen in 10 cases (25%). Intracranial extension was seen in 6 cases (15%). CT detected calcifications in 10 cases (25%). CT accuracy rate was 87.5% in diagnosing cause of proptosis. CT is reliable, cost–effective, non–invasive imaging modality in diagnosis of orbital lesion causing proptosis
