Study of the Lacrimal Gland Size in Korean Using Orbital Computed Tomography

The purpose of this study was to estimate average lacrimal gland size on computed tomography in korean. The subjects were 137 Koreans who were checked orbital CT in Department of Ophthalmology, Soonchunhyang University School of Medicine from June 1990 to August 1994. The average width of lacrimal gland was 17.15 +/- 1.75mm, A-P length was 9.81 +/- 1.65mm and thickness was 4.57 +/- 0.99mm. The average width, A-P length and thickness of lacrimal gland were not statistically different between males and females(p>0.05).
