Cross sectional, observational study of proptosis in a tertiary multidisciplinary hospital
Journal Title: IP International Journal of Ocular Oncology and Oculoplasty - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Proptosis is a fairly common clinical condition we see in our ophthalmology clinics. Although it has similar manifestations the severity and aetiology can be varied. This study attempts to classify the profile of proptosis patients in terms of severity, location and aetiology. This will help us in understanding the causes in our ethnic population and geographical area and help tailor diagnostic investigations and help in timely management.
