ABSTRACT |
Five cases of various parasellar lesions ; unclassified malignant tumor, neurofibroma, microglioma, granuloma and metastatic carcinoma from the lung, were determined by orbital venography while the plane skull X-ray, tomogram and carotid angiogram failed to demonstrate and lesions. The technique was described and the usefullness discussed along with a review of literature. It is emphasized the orbital venogram seemed to valuable not only for the determination of the extent of the lesions but also as a good surgical guide to the region where the anatomical complexity can easily confuse the surgeon. |
