  • Title: [Orbital pathology--I].
    Author: Lukasik S.
    Journal: Wiad Lek; 1993 Jul; 46(13-14):540-6. PubMed ID: 8030337.
    Abstract:
    The signs of orbital diseases depend on an ideal anatomic and physiological symmetry which ensures correct position of the eyeballs and proper coordination and synchronization of the action of the oculomotor muscles. In the initial stage of pathological lesion development, the following may occur: burning sensation in conjunctivae, feeling of dryness, excessive lacrimation, and periodically appearing stabbing pain in the eye. Orbital diseases are associated most frequently with exophthalmus, and frequently also with lateral displacement of the eyeball and disturbances of its mobility. Injuries, inflammatory states and orbital neoplasms jeopardize not only the visual system but often are life-threatening. The determination of precise localization, size, type, and aetiology of pathological lesion and undertaking as soon as possible proper therapeutic management is the foremost task of every doctor.
