[Echography in ophthalmology].

Abstract

Echography represents an extremely valuable method in exploration of the eye for knowledge of some ocular parameters or detect and localize intraocular pathological process when the classical ophthalmological investigations are insufficient because of the affected transparent mediums. It is also used in the orbit pathology which is inaccessible to direct examination. This work contains the echographic exploration of the most common oculo-orbital diseases reached by ultrasonography (echography). The direct access of the ophthalmologist to the echograph enables the correlation between the anamnestic and clinical datum with those obtained by echographic explorations, meaning a more precise diagnosis.
