Abstract

Nineteen eyes of 18 patients with intraorbital angioma were studied by color Doppler ultrasonography and the results were compared to the diagnosis of CT (16 eyes), MRI (5 eyes) and pathology (5 eyes). Blood flow images in intraorbital angioma were detected in 15/19 eyes (78.95%), and blood flow spectrums were analyzed in 7/19 eyes (36.64%). It is suggested that color Doppler ultrasonography be helpful to the identification of the intraorbital angioma.
