| Popis: | Purpose: To provide age and gender-specific reference values of bony orbital volume in normal healthy eyes of Saudi Arabian children. Methods: A retrospective review of health data was performed between October 2014 to May 2015. Healthy eyes of children aged 15 years or younger without orbital disease were included. Their computed tomography (CT) scans were reviewed. Orbital bony cavity volume (OV) was calculated by the 3D-semi-automated volumetric methods. Variation of OV by age and gender was analyzed. Results: CT scans of 374 children (197 males, 177 females) were reviewed. The mean OV of healthy Saudi children was 19.1 mm3 [95% confidence interval (CI):18.7 – 19.5]. OV was statistically significantly larger in males than females [(difference of mean=1.23 mm3 (95% CI: 0.7 – 1.8) P |
