Abstract

With conventional methods including orbital arteriography, orbital venography, penumoorbitography and positive contrast orbitography, imaging of eyeball and orbit is not only difficult, invasive or expensive but also nonspecific in result. Ulltrasonography provides safe, specific and reliable way to obtaine image of eyeball andorbit. Fifty six ultrasonograms of 50 patients which were referred under the impression of various ophthalmic diseases were analyzed. 1. Sixteen cases were normal. 2. Ocular diseases were 26 cases and extraocular orbital disesase were 8 cases. 3. Among the ocular diseases, 9 foreign body cases, 6 retinal detachment cases, 5 vitreous hemorrhage. 4. Among the extraocular orbital diseases, 6 pseudotumor cases, 1 pseudolymphoma, 1 eyelid cyst casewere diagnosed. 5. Ultrasonic fnidings were specific enough to differentiated from other disases and well corresponded with clinical and pathological diagnosis. 6. It can be concluded that ultrasonography is one of the most reliable imaging method in ocular and extraocular orbital diseases.
