Abstract

The globe and orbit constitute a very small portion of the body; however, trauma to this region assumes critical importance due to the high value we place on vision. The evaluation of orbital trauma has progressed rapidly with the development and wide distribution of computer-assisted imaging. Plain radiography, angiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may all be used in the evaluation of orbital trauma and the search for foreign bodies.
