The orbit and the visual pathway

More about the book

This comprehensive work covers essential topics in orbital and visual pathway research. It begins with an introduction to the anatomy of the orbit and the ophthalmic artery, followed by advanced imaging techniques such as High-Resolution Computed Tomography and MRI, which are crucial for diagnosing space-occupying lesions and assessing the visual pathway. The text delves into various tumors affecting the orbit, including those originating from the intracranial visual pathways, and discusses surgical approaches to reconstructive procedures, particularly for hemangiomas and lymphomas. A significant section is dedicated to Graves' ophthalmopathy, detailing diagnostic methods and the outcomes of orbital decompression surgeries. The book also explores carotid-cavernous fistulas, highlighting their anatomical correlations and the resulting ophthalmological complications. It addresses the implications of retinal circulation disturbances and provides insights into conditions such as amaurosis fugax. Lastly, the text examines traumatic lesions, focusing on periorbital fractures and their management, including the restoration of eye motility and the classification of orbital floor fractures. This work serves as a critical resource for understanding complex conditions affecting the orbit and visual pathways, offering valuable insights for both clinical practice and research.
