Ocular protrusion is usually measured as the deepest part of the lateral orbital rim to the apex of the cornea. Several studies have been carried out to propose normative data for ocular protrusion according to different age ranges. The protrusion of the eyeball seemed to increase during childhood and adolescence and become stable after the late teens during adulthood. Relationships of ocular protrusion with age are still not completely clarified. The purpose of the current retrospective study was to investigate ocular protrusion on lateral x-rays at different growth stages.

Abstract
Ocular protrusion is usually measured as the deepest part of the lateral orbital rim to the apex of the cornea. Several studies have been carried out to propose normative data for ocular protrusion according to different age ranges. The protrusion of the eyeball seemed to increase during childhood and adolescence and become stable after the late teens during adulthood. Relationships of ocular protrusion with age are still not completely clarified. The purpose of the current retrospective study was to investigate ocular protrusion on lateral x-rays at different growth stages.File in questo prodotto:
