Orbital volume changes during growth and development in human children assessed using cone beam computed tomography.

Objectives: To measure growth-related changes in orbital volume from childhood to the late teenage years using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved 65 (24 male, 41 female) healthy Caucasian children (ages 6-18 years) with existing serial craniofacial CBCT scans. CBCT scans were available for 292 orbits.
