Abstract
The study was conducted to get an overview of the various E.N.T. lesions presenting with proptosis. 50 cases were thoroughly investigated, treated according to the diagnosis and adequately followed up. Based on this data it can be concluded that most of the E.N.T. lesions presenting with proptosis are neoplastic in origin with other chief complaints being epistaxis and nasal obstruction CT scan is a must in the investigation of these conditions and USG of the orbits is an useful non-invasive investigation.
Key Words: proptosis, CT scan PNS, USG orbit
