Abstract
A total number of 31 cases of proptosis caused by primary orbital tumors, paranasal tumor extensions and nasapharyngeal tumors werte analysed in a retrospective study in relation to their age, sex, clinical and histological profile. Surgical management of this group of tumors depends on the anatomical location of the tumor and CT scan was considered as the primary modality of investigation. Different modalities of surgical treatment like lateral orbitotomy, medial orbitotomy, lateral rhinotomy, etc., have been adopted according to location of tumor. Surgical approaches and histopathological profile of the lesions causing proptosis are discussed in details.
