Summary:

Now thoroughly revised, this Second Edition text focuses on a case-based learning approach that features decision-making information presented in algorithmic format. Sections covered are the anatomy of the orbit, pathophysiologic and anatomic principles in classifying, diagnosing and investigating orbital disease, diseases, of the orbit, and the management of those disease. New topics include orbital ultrsound, gamma scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, incidence of lesions by location, management of complex vascular lesions by location, management of complex vascular lesions, granulomatous inflammations of the orbit, and orbital atrophy. A conceptual model is presented and a new classification scheme discussed. Several chapters have been updated and illustrations are plentiful.
