Abstract

A techque of positive contrast orbitography with 20% Hypaque was described. A retrobulbar injection of 4.0 to 6.0cc. of 20% Hypaque (50% Hypaque 4.0cc., 2% Lidocain 1.0cc., saline solution 5.0cc.) was performed. Simple skull Cantero-posterior and lateral), Water's, Caldowell and Optic foramen views were obtained in 15 minutes after injection. Space-occupying lesions of the orbit produced radiolucencies within the muscle cone of contrast material or indentation and deformities of the contours of the muscle cone. 11 patients with clinical signs of space-occupying orbital lesions were examined. Tumors were accurately outlined in 8 patients, in one case the investigtiaon was not technically satisfactory and another 2 cases we couldn't confirm by surgical removal. No complications were observed in orbitography. The technique is thought to be superior to negative contrast orbitography and angiography.
