The role of computer tomography within the differential diagnosis of acute inflammatory lesions of orbit tissues as well as an appropriate tactics of treatment were evaluated. Computer tomography, "Somafom AR-T", 512 x 512 pix matrix, Siemens (Germany), was made in the axial and coronary projections to delineate the inflammatory zone. The findings of computer tomography denoted explicitly the spatial features of pathology within the orbit with anatomic structures. In periostitis and reactive edema in retrobulbar fat of the orbit, the treatment of patients was conservative made jointly with otolaryngologist. Orbitotomy with drainage or with lancing of affected sinuses was made in abscess and phlegmon of the orbit. There was a complete recovery in a majority of patients with acute diseases of the orbit; they preserved their functions of the organ of vision and of its appendages. Therefore, computer tomography is a valuable and highly effective examination tool within the differential diagnosis of acute inflammatory diseases of the orbit. The diagnosis and treatment of such diseases call for a board of doctors including ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist and oral surgeon. |
