USING THE SONOGRAPHY IN THE DIAGNOSTICS OF THE ROLLING OF THE ORBIT BOARDS

Abstract

The aim of the study is to assess the possibilities of sonography in the diagnosis of orbital wall fractures Materials and methods: 21 patients with suspicions of fractures of orbital walls were examined.X-ray films, MSCT scans were taken for all patients and were compared with the ultrasonography findings.Results: Sonography revealed 18 fractures of 21, which were certified with MSCT.Signs of the fracture not detected in 3 patients, 2 of them were patients with fractures of the lower wall and 1 of the medial wall of the orbit.In 2 cases the fractures of the lateral wall of the orbit were false positive on sonography.Sensitivity of sonography in fractures of the orbital walls was 86%, radiography 81%, respectively.
