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 U/S, orbital abscess may show an anechoic mass with low internal reflectivity. (Hot orbit).
Ultrasound Findings
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 U/S, orbital abscess may show 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]
