Zusammenfassung

Die möglichen Komplikationen der anophthalmischen Orbita können auf Basis unterschiedlicher Pathomechanismen entstehen. Unterschieden werden allergische, infektiöse, entzündliche oder mechanische Ursachen. In dieser Übersichtsarbeit werden die unterschiedlichen Ätiologien beleuchtet sowie deren therapeutische Ansätze diskutiert.

Abstract

The possible complications of anophthalmic eye sockets can occur due to many different pathomechanisms. A differentiation is made between allergic, infectious, inflammatory or mechanical causes. This article gives an overview on the different etiologies of socket complications with their pathophysiology and treatment options.
