[Neuroradiologic diagnosis of space compression processes caused by orbital tumors or pseudotumors]

In thirty-year period are presented 110 patients with spatio-compressive orbital processes diagnosed by ophtalmoradiological methods. Out of those, 100 patients were surgically treated and histopathologically verified in our institution. All the entities of spatio-compressive processes are presented, benign and malignant tumors as well as pseudotumors of inflammatory and vascular nature. All the methods known in the world up to day are chronologically alleged, from classic to modern digital methods, as well as their diagnostic efficacy. The most efficacious algorhitm is established in the choice of radiological examination procedures on the basis of former experience. The collaboration of neuroradiologist, ophthalmologist and neurosurgeon was of the utmost significance in solving the spatio-compressive orbital processes.
