Disease relevance of Orbital Diseases

CONCLUSIONS: In six patients with WG and active inflammatory orbital disease, orbital socket contracture occurred during the treatment course with systemic immunosuppressive medications [1].
Although first reported in the investigation of orbital disease in 1979, it is only in the past 1 to 2 years that CDI has become established as a tool in the assessment of vascular disease of the eye and orbit [2].

High impact information on Orbital Diseases

TBII or TSI titres did not correlate with thyroidal or orbital disease duration, nor with TPO antibody levels [3].
Coronal computed tomography in orbital disease [4].
During the first two years with the 160 x 160 matrix EMI scanner 144 consecutive patients referred with suspicion of orbital disease were subjected to 190 computed tomography (CT) examinations [5].
These observations may in part explain the lack of CSA effectiveness in human orbital diseases that respond to corticosteroids [6].
