Introduction: The close relationship between diseases of the paranasal sinuses system and the orbit is based on their anatomical relationship. About 60% to 80% of the osseous eye socket is made up by sinus walls. Objective: To describe evaluation of orbital complications in patient with paranasal sinuses diseases at Dr. M. Djamil Hospital Padang for 2005-2014. Method: Descriptive study we obtai...

Orbital myositis is an inflammation of mainly the extraocular muscles. Orbital myositis has a sudden onset, and the clinical course can be acute or chronic. The ocular signs and symptoms of eyes with orbital myositis are periocular pain, eyelid swelling and redness, restricted ocular motility, and strabismus. Computed tomographic (CT) scans show indistinct swelling around one or more extraocula...

purpose : to report a patient with orbital pseudotumor masquerading as orbital cellulitis case report : a 42-year-old woman was referred to orbit and oculoplastic clinic with 6 days history of left orbital pain, proptosis, lid edema and fever. clinical finding included severe lid edema, chemosis, conjunctival injection and severe restriction in extraocular motility. she was diagnosed as orbital...

The purpose of this paper is to present a new, possibly preferable method for cavernous sinus and orbital venography, by retrograde catheterization from the arm, With this procedure, good opacification of cavernous sinus may be offered also in patients who have heart diseases, This procedure can be tolerated with minimal discomfort. The patterns of the caverneus sinus are demonstrated in those ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Some branches of the internal maxillary artery have anastomoses with the inferolateral trunk that are important as intracranial-extracranial collateral pathways and as dangerous anastomoses for transarterial embolization of these branches. We present here an undescribed branch potentially anastomosing with the anteromedial branch of the inferolateral trunk, which is provi...

Diagnostic and differential diagnostic of orbital diseases are considered to be one of the most difficult problems in ophthalmology because most orbital pathologies display the same signs and symptoms. Condition of orbital tissues can be evaluated using three different radiology imaging techniques: A/B-scan ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. A/B-scan ultrasono...
