title: [On the differential diagnosis of inflammatory illness of the orbit. Computer tomographic results (author's transl)].
abstract: Selectet CT-findings in inflammatory orbital diseases are demonstrated with special regard to the differential diagnostic importance of details. Based on the criteria-density of retrobulbar fat, swelling of extraocular muscles, dilatation of orbital vessels, representation of osseous borders of the orbit, pneumatisation of paranasal sinuses etc-typical CT-patterns of disease entities are demonstrated. The differentiation of inflammatory diseases, orbital tumors, and vascular disorders is discussed. The limits of diagnostic interpretation are pointed out.
