title: [Radiologic diagnosis of the orbit and anterior cranial fossa].
abstract: Basing on frequent diseases associated with typical changes of the orbita and the anterior cranial fossa - osteomas, fibrous dysplasia, meningiomas of the sphenoid bone, neurofibromatosis, mucoceles and pyoceles, dermoid tumours, malignant tumours and transmitted inflammatory processes - the x-ray diagnostic procedure is explained. Plain x-ray films and computed tomography are the most important methods, whereas examinations employing film tomography and angiography are now restricted to a few selected cases only.
