چکیده
Objectives: To describe the Demographic, clinical and imaging patterns of Proptosis. Study Design: Historic cohort study. Subjects and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical charts and imaging records of 87 patients with Proptosis. A detailed work up of data including age, sex, visual and orbital signs and symptoms was done. Imaging studies including orbital ultrasonography, CT scan and MRI scans were analysed. Descriptive Statistics (cross tabulation) was used for data analysis. Results: The age ranged from 3.5 months to 85 years. (Mean 42.6 years). Male to female ratio was 1.23:1. The commonest cause of Proptosis was inflammatory diseases (50.57%), followed by tumours (42.53%) and trauma being the least common (6.9%). Conclusion: Inflammation is the commonest cause of Proptosis. Imaging techniques are the backbone in diagnosing various causes of Proptosis.
