Abstract
Purpose:
The lesions are difficult to visualize in image diagnostics. The paper aims at describing abilities of ultrasonography in the assessment of varices of the orbit.
Material And Methods:
The results of color Doppler examinations in 12 patients with moderate proptosis, in whom the presence of varices was suspected, are presented.
Results:
The method allowed for identification and evaluation of the flow in the orbital region. The typical appearance of orbital varices and changes of the flow during the Valsalva's manoeuvre are described.
Conclusions:
The authors indicate a high usefulness of the method in the assessment of the orbital varices.
