title: [Orbital phlebography. Methods, anatomy and clinical considerations].
abstract: Orbital phlebography is a roentgen examination method formerly used for general investigations of pathological processes in the orbit. The procedure has gained renewed interest because of its ability to demonstrate changes in vasculitis in the orbital venous system. These changes are shown to be associated with certain types of hemicrania, and with the Tolosa-Hunt syndrome in particular. For three years we have performed orbital phlebographies at the department of Radiology at the University Hospital, Trondheim. This article describes the normal anatomy of the orbital venous system, the technique, and the pathological changes revealed by this method.
