The efficiency of internal orbital decompression was evaluated in uncompensated edematous exophthalmos (EE). Twenty-two patients aged 17-65 years who had EE (30 orbits) were followed up. EE in a subcompensation and decompensation stage occurred in 12 (17 orbits) and 10 (13 orbits) patients,

Five of 7 cases of exophthalmos showed improvement within three months with 2,000 rads of 6 MeV radiation. A new technique of X-ray beam localization employing a direct measurement 12 mm posterior to the anterior extent of the cornea was used and found more accurate than using a fixed point

Carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are traumatic or spontaneously occurring communications between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus. Carotid-cavernous fistulas can be due to a direct connection or indirect connections between the carotid artery system and the cavernous sinus. According to
