[Orbital phlebography].
For the diagnosis of intra- and retro-orbital processes, orbital phlebography occupies a key position whereas carotid arteriography visualizing the ophthalmic artery has only a limited diagnostic value for the assessment of absolute intra-orbital processes. Use of subtraction method and magnification technique brought essential improvement to the vessel representation of the orbit. Combination of these techniques in connection with computerized axial tomography (EMI-Scanner), as a rule, allows localization and identification of intraorbital space-occupying processes without difficulty.
