Overview
There are no ultrasound findings specifically associated with orbital cellulitis. Ultrasound can detect an abscess in the anterior orbit or medial orbital wall with high sensitivity.[1][2] On orbital ultrasound, orbital abscess may appear as an anechoic mass with low internal reflectivity.[1]
Ultrasound
There are no ultrasound findings specifically associated with orbital cellulitis. Ultrasound can detect an abscess in the anterior orbit or medial orbital wall with high sensitivity.[1][2] On orbital ultrasound, orbital abscess may appear as an anechoic mass with low internal reflectivity.[1] Ultrasound may be used as an in-office screening tool in cases of suspected orbital abscess or to monitor treatment effectiveness.[1][2]
