orbital lesions. Consistency (compressibility) can be assessed with A-scan or B-scan. Vascularity (spontaneous motion) indicates blood flow within a lesion. Consistency is evaluated by exerting moderate pressure against the tissue with the probe. A soft lesion will be seen to decrease in size, whereas a hard lesion will remain unchanged.

Vascularity can be observed when a lesion contains blood vessels with rapidly flowing blood (e.g., capillary hemangiomas). In lesions with high blood flow, the A-scan may show a fast, flickering motion or pulsations of one or more internal echoes that indicate blood flow.

9.7.2Extraocular Muscles

Extraocular muscle thickening is a common finding in patients presenting with signs or symptoms of orbital disease. Standardized echography has proven to be an excellent modality for the measurement of extraocular muscle thickness and the differentiation of thyroid dysfunction (Fig. 9.27) from other conditions, such as idiopathic orbital myositis, or tumors. The differentiation of various disorders affecting the extraocular muscles is based primarily on laterality and the topographic
