Management of Orbital and Ocular Adnexal Tumors and Inflammations

A practical guide for eye surgeons to the management of lid and ocular adnexal disease, primarily tumors, but also inflammatory conditions that mimic tumors. The organization of the book reproduces the ophthalmologist's approach to the patient. It discusses the criteria for choosing between an initial systemic antibiotic or incisional biopsy, the histopathology needed to understand the pathologist's report, managing the patient in the different stages, work up, surgical techniques, and follow up. Photographs and scan images accompany the chapters on diagnosis. Large, clear drawings illustrate the surgical procedures described. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
