title: Orbital trauma evaluation by computed tomography.
abstract: Computed tomographic scans are useful for the evaluation of orbital trauma because they provide visualization of fractures, soft tissue damage, and embedded foreign bodies. Six cases are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of these studies in the evaluation of patients with a variety of injuries. By using both coronal and axial computed tomographic scans, orbital details can be studied with three-dimensional accuracy.
