Ultrasonography (US) is a rapid, accurate, noninvasive method of evaluating ocular and orbital disease. A wide spectrum of pediatric ocular and orbital disorders can be demonstrated with US: ocular congenital malformations, vitreoretinal disorders, primary and metastatic ocular and orbital neoplasms, inflammatory and congestive disease (focal or systemic), cystic disease, trauma, and foreign bodies. US may be the method of choice for studying ocular congenital anomalies and vitreoretinal disorders owing to its high definition and noninvasiveness. In ocular neoplasms, US demonstrates the morphology of the lesion, its solid or liquid nature, and the presence of calcifications. Its use is limited when the tumor extends outside the globe; computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging must then be performed. In ocular trauma, US precisely demonstrates the presence of hemorrhage, retinal and choroidal detachment, and foreign bodies. CT and MR imaging are superior in evaluation of orbital disease. Color Doppler US often allows differential diagnosis of vascular, inflammatory, and neoplastic disease.
