ORBIT TUMORAL PATHOLOGY - ULTRASOUND DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Abstract:
The diagnosis value of the ultrasound
investigation in the orbit pathology is materialized in the
capacity of elucidating the inflammatory, endocrine or
tumoral etiology, being a major criterion in the adoption
of the therapeutic approach. When evaluating the tumoral
pathology, echography is seen, both as an investigation of
first intention – having as a purpose the screening
orientation of the subsequent investigations – and as a
method to differentiate the tumoral histologic structure,
based on their ultrasonic character. The correlation of
the ultrasound data with the information supplied by
other imagistic methods represents elements that reduce
the rate of the diagnosis error at maximum.
