[Clinical analysis of primary orbital varix].
OBJECTIVE
To analyze and summarize the clinical and imaging signs, diagnosis and treatment of primary orbital varix.


METHODS
218 cases of primary orbital varix in 20 years were analyzed.


RESULTS
Positional proptosis was the primary sign. Ultrasound examination showed that a characteristic well-out-lined lesion with low or without reflection of sound appeared in the orbital fat when the internal carotid vein was compressed.


CONCLUSIONS
To recognize the characteristic imaging signs of orbital varix in ultrasound examination is valuable for the choice of treatment.
