title: Orbital and para-orbital tumours--a 10 years retrospective study.
abstract: A total number of 631 cases of orbital and para-orbital tumours causing proptosis was analysed in a retrospective way in relation to age, anatomic location, histological and clinical profile. CT-scan was considered as the primary modality of investigation as it correctly delineates the extent of the tumour, integrity of bony structures and intracranial spread. Different modalities of surgery like lateral orbitotomy, medial orbitotomy, lateral rhinotomy and endoscopic excision, etc, had been performed depending upon the anatomical locations. Surgical approaches, histological types of various tumours are analysed in detail.
