title: Orbital trauma.
abstract: Assessment of the orbit for orbital trauma is best achieved expeditiously with CT in the determination of extent of injury and the presence of foreign body. MR imaging has a limited role but is valuable in examining the optic nerve and globe for injury and has proven to be an adjunct modality in the assessment of orbital injury.
