title: [Noso-orbital related disease: an analysis of 39 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To enhance the Diagnostic and therapeutic levels of naso-orbital diseases.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-nine cases of naso-orbital diseases were analyzed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among the 39 cases, 7 had no nasal symptoms. 9 had their symptoms mainly confined to eyes and were initially consulted with ophtalmologists. 1 case was consulted with neurologist at first. The main pathologies were as following: bony absorption of orbit wall in inflammatory disorders; compression, displacement and bony absorption of orbit wall in benign tumors and mucoceles; bony destruction in malignant tumors. Tranmatic fractures might involve multiple bony structures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Nosal and orbital organs are closely related anatomically. Imaging investigations are important in diagnosis of naso-orbital related diseases. CT is helpful for early diagnosis. Treatment for benign tumors is mainly by operation, while malignant tumors should be treated by operation and radiotherapy together.
