title: Colour Doppler flow imaging of the orbital veins.
abstract: Experience is given from 79 orbital lesions examined by Colour Doppler Flow Imaging (CDFI) Dec. 1990 to Febr. 1992. We further examined 167 ocular tumours, or tumour-like lesions, and 32 ophthalmic cases groups as 'various'. Here, our experience is summarized concerning the flow patterns demonstrated in orbital veins, pathologic and normal. Adding dynamic and quantitative information to the clinical evaluation CDFI proved superior to conventional B- and A-mode echography. The method is essential in assessing and establishing the diagnosis of low flow dural malformations of the cavernous sinus. Pulsed Doppler appears helpful for the decision of therapy (embolization) and its optimum timing.
