Summary
Orbital diseases, often from car accidents, include fractures, inflammation, and tumors. Malignant tumors are increasing, necessitating interdisciplinary care for the complex orbital cavity.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Oncology
- Traumatology
Context:
- The orbital cavity's unique anatomy and location demand specialized attention.
- Orbital diseases present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges requiring multidisciplinary collaboration.
Purpose:
- To analyze the epidemiology and characteristics of orbital diseases, focusing on fractures, inflammatory processes, and tumors.
- To highlight trends in the occurrence of orbital tumors versus inflammations.
Summary:
- Orbital fractures, primarily caused by car accidents (69.2%), are a significant concern.
- Orbital tumors, particularly malignant types (48.0%), are increasingly prevalent, often originating from adjacent tissues (63.3%).
- While orbital inflammations show a decreasing trend, orbital tumors are on the rise, indicating a shift in disease patterns.
Impact:
- Emphasizes the growing importance of managing orbital tumors.
- Underscores the need for enhanced interdisciplinary approaches to orbital disease treatment.
- Provides epidemiological data to guide future research and clinical strategies for orbital disorders.
