Abstract

1. Twenty-six patients with exophthalmos were investigated by orbital venogrpahy with percutaneous frontal vein injection. Among them, intraorbital tumors were 11 patients and pseudotumors were 5 cases in 4 patients, which were verified by operation. Not-operated 4 patients were suggested the intraorbital tumor or tumors from brain base. One patient was thyrotoxicosis and two patients were normal. It was failed for 3 cases to puncture of frontal vein. 2. The orbital venography is one of the safe, simple and relatively inexpansive methods for the evaluation of the accurate localization of space occupying mass within the orbit, operability and the involvement of the cavernous sinus. 3. It doesn´t give the informative clues to histology of the tumors but can be suggested the pathology by the original tissue existed at the involved segment, anatomically. 4. Their roles in orbital tumor diagnosis will continue to diminish and be replaced by the CT scan and the ultrasound but it is still useful and specific method for the venous thrombosis or malformation and the lesions of cavernous sinus.
