Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate computed tomography (CT) findings in penetrating globe injuries and their relationship with ocular trauma scores (OTSs). Methods: Patients who had orbital CT images were included study. Demographics, injury zone, ophthalmologic exam data collected retrospectively. OTSs categories determined. Orbital evaluated by a radiologist determine decreased volume, wall irregularity, chorioretinal layer thickening, lens dislocation, asymmetric anterior chamber depth (ACD), abnormal vitreous density, intraocular air presence. Results: This 30 eyes patients. majority patients (n = 20, 66.7%) Zone I injuries. most common irregularity (53.3%) ACD (53.3%). No observed 10 (33.3%). Globe the frequent finding OTS II category, while IV category. All ≥3 A significant negative correlation found between number (r -0.644, p < 0.001), positive clinically measured wound size 0.600, 0.001). Conclusions: help assess severity, but clinical examination remains essential for accurate diagnosis.
