Evaluation of orbital pathology by ultrasonography– a hospital based cross–sectional study

Shikha Bhadoriya, Rajesh. S. Kuber, Poorvi Sharma

Abstract :

Background : The orbit is ‘the cavity in the skull of a verteate that contains the eye; the eye socket . The superficial location of the eye and its cystic composition make ultrasound ideal for imaging the eye. Ultrasonography is a powerful non–invasive tool for the accurate diagnosis and effective management of intra ocular tumors. So the aim of the study was to evaluate orbital lesions with high frequency ultrasonography.Materials & Methods: The study included 100 patients with clinically suspected orbital disease. A structure proforma (appendix 2) was used to note the detailed clinical history, physical examination findings, systemic examination findings and investigation findings. Ultrasonography of the orbits was done in each patients. Data analysis was done with the help of appropriate tools.Results: The most common diagnosis in the preset study was cataract (38%) and was followed by Retinal detachment (11%), Pseudophakic Lens (10%) and Vitreous detachment (10%). Vitreous hemorrhage was seen in 5% patients while Vitreous degeneration, Optic drusen and Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous was diagnosed in 3% patients each. Conclusion :Ultrasonography because of its easy accessibility, rapid examination and low cost is preferred for follow up of lesions that may previously have been investigated by other modalities when serial examinations are required
