title: [Panoramic zonography in the diagnosis of orbital fractures].
abstract: A total of 453 patients with acute injuries of the upper and median zones of the facial skull were examined. The most frequent injury was that to the orbital entrance, fractures of the inferior wall; fractures of the exterior, interior, and anterior walls were less incident, and fractures of the orbital apex were the most rare. Types of the skull bone fractures, associated with injury to the orbital walls, were distinguished. The x-ray semeiotics of injuries to the orbital walls was specified making use of panoramic sonography. Panoramic zonography [correction of sonography] with the use of the Zonark [correction of Sonarc] apparatus helps identify the volume and extension of the injuries on all the orbital walls and is altogether an effective method for the diagnosis of the orbital wall fractures.
