[Computed tomography of the orbit. I. Trauma-induced changes].

The CT findings in 120 patients following trauma to the orbits, and in 60 patients with iatrogenic abnormalities, have been analysed. CT has been found to be extremely useful in the diagnosis of trauma and postoperative changes by its ability to demonstrate fractures, foreign bodies, haematomas, abscesses, soft tissue displacement or perforation of orbital structures, as well as showing prosthetic material.
