Proptosis is the hallmark of all orbital disease. Any disease process that causes an increase in the orbital contents produce proptosis. It is defined as abnormal protrusion of one or both eyes usually resulting from mass lesion, vascular abnormality or an inflammatory process.
To study the clinical correlation of orbital diseases interventional and non interventional diagnostic procedures.
All the patients who presented in Dr. RSPR Government regional eye hospital from November 2005 to October 2007, with history of protrusion of the eyeball or with other symptoms and were found to have proptosis on examination formed the material for this prospective study. Altogether 25 cases were diagnosed and detailed information was taken.
The incidence of proptosis was 0.037 percent. Majority of the patients (40 percent) belonged to the age group of 31–45 yrs. The commonest cause of proptosis in this study was found to be Orbital tumors in 40% cases. Out of 25 cases palpable mass was felt in 24% cases and no mass was felt in 76% cases.
Diagnosis of orbital diseases was much correlated clinically with non interventional diagnostic techniques like CT-scan, B-Scan, and were confirmed by interventional techniques like FNAC and Biopsy.
