[Orbitopiezography and its clinical significance (author's transl)].
A new procedure of piezometry of the orbit with electronic recording of the data obtained is being described. The advantages offered by this method are the unprecedented possibility of conducting long-term tests, the high accuracy of the measurements (0.1 mm), and transpalpebral measuring involving a minimum of inconvenience to the patient; in addition to this, only one examiner is required. The clinical significance of orbitopiezography is demonstrated by a description of the possible significance of the data and their evaluation in the differential diagnosis.
