Abstract

This paper presents the experience with unilateral proptosis at Allama Iqbal Medical College (Jinnah Hospital) and King Edward Medical College (Mayo Hospital), Lahore from July 1995 to October 2001. There were 45 patients of unilateral proptosis managed over a period of six years and three months. There was a male predominance with a ratio of 2:1. The age range was 2 - 70 years. The average age was 33 years. The commonest cause was a disease in the ethmoids (27/45 - 60%). Commonest pathology was chronic ethmoiditis and polyposis (10/45 - 22%). External ethmoidectomy performed through the Lynch Howarth approach has been the commonest surgical procedure required (20/45 - 44%). Unilateral proptosis is a multidisciplinary problem and requires collaboration of different specialties.
