Abstract

Neoplasms of the orbit often cause loss of visual function and disability of the patient. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely therapeutic measures for orbital and eyeball tumors are of medical and social importance. The use of multislice CT scanners allows us to carry out continuous volumetric scanning and to clearly identify the smallest pathological focus (tumors, metastases, etc.). A comparative multislice computed tomography study was carried out in 38 patients with primary neoplasm of the orbit and eyeball. The analysis of CT semiotics of primary and secondary tumors of the orbit and eyeball revealed their common features.
