[Angiographic diagnosis of hemangiomas in the orbital region (author's transl)].
The polymorphus hemangiomas-especially those of the cavernous type in the orbital region, the face, the scalp or the rhinopharynx are not demonstrable neither by arterial nor venous angiography. If direct puncture of the angioma is possible, the injection of radioopaque medium shows a characteristic picture. The smooth limitation, partial septation and the delayed outflow of contrast medium are important criterions for the differential diagnosis. Moreover the delimitation of the hemangioma from the surrounding tissue is possible and the best surgical access can be selected. If the expanding process is situated in the orbit, and has reached a certain size, the venography of the orbit indicates the extent and localization of the orbital mass.
