Abstract
|
|
|
Since Sept. 1959, a simplified- retrobulbar air insufflations method for orbit examination has been carried out to about 80 patients with the X-ray tomography.
As to the technique, about 8-10 cc of the air is injected into- the retrobulbar soft tissue (central space of Charpy) from skin side which is introduced by the 20 gauge needle at the lower part of the external canthus without special anesthesia.
The exact contour of the eyeball, optic nerve and muscles are well visualized and it is proved that the condition of newgrowth esp.in retrobulbar space, pathological changes of the optic nerve, the foreign body adjacent to the eyeball can be detected by direct visualization by this method.
Also this method has been reliable to decide the site of the operation and the necessity of the enucleation following the extension of the tumor to the ocular tissue from the surrounding parts of the orbit for instance Para nasal sinuses.
During about two years, not a single serious complication has been encountered after this examination.
