Orbital infections and inflammations include a broad spectrum of orbital diseases that can be idiopathic, infectious, from primary or secondary inflammatory processes. Being able to properly diagnose and manage these orbital diseases in a timely manner can avoid permanent vision loss and possibly save a patient's life. When clinicians are faced with such patients, quite often the exact diagnosis cannot be made just based on clinical examination, various laboratory tests and imaging are needed. Moreover, orbital biopsies with histopathological analyses are often required, especially for the atypical cases. Thus, it is important for the clinicians to be familiar with the pathological features and characteristics of these orbital diseases. This review provides a comprehensive update on the clinical and pathological diagnosis of these orbital infections and inflammations.
眼眶感染与炎症包括一系列广泛的眼眶疾病，这些疾病可能是特发性的、感染性的，或是源于原发性或继发性炎症过程。能够及时正确地诊断和处理这些眼眶疾病可避免永久性视力丧失，并有可能挽救患者生命。当临床医生面对此类患者时，往往无法仅根据临床检查做出准确诊断，还需要进行各种实验室检查和影像学检查。此外，通常需要进行眼眶活检及组织病理学分析，尤其是对于非典型病例。因此，临床医生熟悉这些眼眶疾病的病理特征很重要。本综述全面更新了这些眼眶感染与炎症的临床及病理诊断。
