“…8,9 Ultrasonographic findings of orbital cellulitis include hyperechoic inflammatory intraconal fat, heterogenous collection of intraorbital material with mixed echogenicity (hyperechoic and hypoechoic), and extraocular muscle edema and/or displacement. 4,[10][11][12] Orbital abscess typically appears as an anechoic to hypoechoic fluid collection, but as with soft tissue abscesses elsewhere in the body, they can also appear isoechoic and contain hyperechoic debris. 4,[10][11][12] The diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound of these findings of orbital cellulitis and abscess has not been well established, but small non-randomized studies suggest ocular ultrasound has a potential for high diagnostic accuracy.…”
