Abstract
With the advance of diagnostic techniques in soft tissues, a great deal of information on orbital inflammation can be attained. Echography is one of the advanced approaches to orbital soft tissues. Myogenic lesions are a fruitful target for echographic orbital examination.
Results of A- and B-scan echography in five cases with suspected or established orbital myositis will be described. Differential diagnosis from other low-reflective lesions such as endocrine ophthalmopathy or lymphoma/ sarcoma/pseudotumor group will be discussed.
