title: [Study about eye complication of nasopharyngeal carcinoma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the eye complication of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), to analysis the clinical manifestation, CT characteristics and pathological diagnosis of eye complications of NPC and to provide the base for early diagnosis of NPC.
  
  
  METHODS
  To retrospectively study of 82 cases eye complications in 562 cases NPC, to study their clinical manifestation, CT characteristics and pathological diagnosis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The clinical studies showed that eye complication cases were occurred in 82 cases of 562 NPC cases (14.6%). Thirty-six cases in left and 37 cases in right eye, 9 cases in bilateral eyes. Sixty-five cases came from Guangdong, while the others 17 cases come from 5 provinces. There were 9 kinds of eye manifestation. CT appearances: 40 cases suffered from skull base distracted, 6 cases with orbit involved, 2 cases ( in left eyes) with orbit metastasis, 12 cases with nose-sinus involved, 68 case with parapharyngeal space involved, 49 cases with soft issue in wall of styloid process involved (there were many kind of shows in the same case, so the data were repeated in these cases).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There were multiplicity and complexity in eye complication of NPC. Ophthalmologists should think highly of these cases.
