Orbital metastases: echographic findings our experience.
In this paper the authors examine the echographic findings in 20 patients with metastatic and secondary tumors of the orbit observed at the University Eye Clinic of Ferrara (Italy) between January 1985 and August 1995. The aim of this study is to identify some typical echographic characteristics in these forms and to underline the diagnostic role of orbital echography.
