Abstract

Aim of this study is to assess and categorize , the  clinico-pathological distribution, management, surgical approaches  followed in various types of orbital tumours which were encountered in our practice from  October 1994 to till date(January 2016) Materials and methods consisted of 30 patients, with orbital swellings, who visited the outpatient department  of Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences,- Bangalore and Rajarajeshwari Medical College- Bangalore,  where the author has worked in the capacities of Assistant Professor, and Associate Professor  respectively. Majority of the cases visited his outpatient department, in Vidya Eye Hospital, Bangalore, where the author is the proprietor. Basic clinical examination was done in each case. Later,  investigated by radiography, CT-Scan, MRI to assess, the characteristics and extension of the tumour, to extraorbital areas. Suitable orbitotomy procedures were chosen depending upon the cases.  The tumours removed thus were subjected for histo-pathological examination. The conclusion was drawn based on our clinical experience in managing these cases
