[Diagnosis of periorbital diseases by means of ultrasound].
The ophthalmology was one of the first medical branches which used ultrasound in diagnostical purposes. The structure of the eye, with the large vitreous body, through which the ultrasound waves pass without attenuation, is highly appreciated in ultrasound examination, thus the diagnostical results of ocular diseases are extremely good. On the base of our rich ophthalmological experience we left the scope of the eye and the orbit, and made ultrasound examinations of the head and the face. The echograms of two patients presented original patterns: one was malignant melanoma of the skin with typical echograms performed by A and B scannings, and the other case was the Mikulicz disease with typical echograms. Original echograms of these patients can be considered as a contribution to ultrasound diagnosis of paraorbital diseases.
