[Gas gangrene of the eyelids and orbits].
Infections with Clostridia are very rare in the orbital region. On the basis of a case report of such an infection in the orbit the authors discuss the clinical behavior, diagnosis, and therapy of this infection with anaerobic bacteria. Computerized tomography was been very helpful in the diagnostic procedure.
