Ultrasonography provides excellent visualization of orbital structures and demonstrates characteristic imaging findings for a variety of orbital pathologies. Herein, we presented the technique for performing orbital sonography and described the ultrasonographic appearance of normal orbital structures. In addition, we discussed common pediatric orbital pathologies; provided background information regarding epidemiology, clinical presentation, and histologic characteristics; and demonstrated the sonographic findings for each entity.Learning Objective: Review basic ocular anatomy, familiarize radiologists with orbital sonography technique, and present imaging characteristics of common pediatric orbital lesions as visualized on sonography.", }
