RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the applied value of multislice spiral CT multiplanar reconstruction in diagnosing the trauma oforbit. Methods 40 patients with trauma of orbit underwent multislice spiral CT scan, the thickness of slices was 2 mm and collimator was 0.75 mm. Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and free angle parallel ranges reconstruction (PRR) were performed. CT findings of orbital trauma were analysed. The result passes through the surgery and the clinical confirmation.Results 14 cases with radiopaque foreign in orbit comfirmed by operation were accurately localized by MPR and PRR, but 6 cases were misdiagnosed by conventional CT. There were 21 cases with fracture of orbital wall, of them, 9 cases were not detected or partially misdiagnosed by plain CT. The damage of eye musculus rectus was in 16 cases, 6 cases were diagnosed by MPR+PRR. There were 16 cases with eyeball damage, of them , 4 cases detected by conventional CT difficultly, but they identified by MPR and PRR. The damage of optic nerve was in 5 cases, 4 cases were not discovered by conventional CT. Conclusion MPR and PRR are of important value in evaluating the orbital trauma.
