Axial position of the globe was measured on CT scans using 2 methods, both previously shown to correlate with Hertel exophthalmometry.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Of the 500 charts reviewed, 55 patients met inclusion criteria. 55% (n = 30) of patients were male, and 58% (n = 32) had right-sided CN 7 palsy. The predominant etiology was acute Bell's palsy 76% (n = 42). CT measurements revealed a statistically significant relative exophthalmos on the side affected by CN 7 palsy, measuring an average of 0.89 mm (Method 1) and 0.92 mm (Method 2) (both methods p < .001).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Our study is the first to highlight changes in ocular globe position in CN 7 palsies. The observed exophthalmos highlights the importance of assessing globe position in ophthalmologic management of the disorder.</p>","PeriodicalId":9606,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of ophthalmology.
