The present study was conducted with the following aims-To evaluate efficacy of CT in evaluating orbital diseases,To determine the site and extent of tumor and aid in decision making for treatment modality including surgery whenever necessary,To evaluate the orbit in patient clinically suspected to have orbital pathology, To detect, localize and characterize the lesion, To establish extent of lesion prior to planning the treatment.This study included 30 patients who were suspected of having orbital lesions. And all these patients underwent computed tomographic evaluation of orbit. CT is 96.6% effective in our study. And majority of patients improved after treatment after CT diagnosis. 1.
