An assessment tool for orbital trauma - should the orbits be included in head CT?

Introduction and Aims: Many patients undergo CT of the head to exclude brain injury, which frequently does not include the orbits. Patients with maxillofacial injuries may go on to receive additional imaging, incurring additional cost, time and radiation exposure. We aim to examine the signs and symptoms of orbital fractures to develop a tool to assess the benefit of including the orbits inpatients already undergoing CT head.
