Purpose. Studying the possibilities of functional multispiral computed tomography in diagnostics of orbital hemangiomas.

Materials and methods. A male 55-year-old patient and a female 42-year-old patient, were hospitalized in the ophthalmology department because of the revealed orbital masses. To clarify the condition of the optic nerve and its involvement in the process, the patients were referred by an ophthalmologist to an additional examination of the orbits using functional MSCT.

Functional MSCT was performed on a multispiral computer tomograph Toshiba Aquilion One 640, with slice thickness 0.5 mm, in the soft-tissue mode. During the study, the patient made eye movements from the central position upwards, then down, to the right, to the left, with a return to the central position. The time of functional eye movement study was 7 seconds.

Results. Based on the results of fMSCT, the most optimal tactics of management and surgical treatment of patients was chosen. Patients underwent surgical treatment and orbital mass removal. A histological examination in both cases revealed cavernous hemangioma.

Conclusion. Functional MSCT is a new promising method in the examination of patients with orbital neoplasms and allows to acquire additional diagnostic information about orbital hemangiomas.
