Ultrasound Examination of the Orbit in Patients With Thyroid-Associated Orbitopathy – Examination Guide and Recommendations for Everyday Practice. A Review

Original language description

The purpose of this study is to present the possibilities and benefits of ultrasonography (US) of the orbit in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO). Methods: US examination of the orbit is a very important addition to clinical and laboratory examination in patients with TAO. Nevertheless, it is often neglected in clinical practice, or indicated only after a relatively long interval. Based on published findings and our experience with the diagnosis and treatment of TAO patients, it is our aim to highlight the clear benefit of US examination of the orbit and oculomotor muscles, not only in the timely diagnosis of TAO, but also in the monitoring of the disease over time. However, knowledge of the drawbacks and limitations of this method is also very important, as we shall point out. It is always necessary to keep in mind that US examination must be evaluated in connection with the clinical findings. A detailed recommendation for US examination of the extraocular muscles and the orbit based on our experiences with the diagnosis and treatment of TAO patients in daily practice is also included. Conclusion: According to our experience, US examination of the orbit is an excellent and irreplaceable tool for the timely diagnosis of TAO and for further monitoring of the disease. However, considerable experience on the part of the examiner and detailed knowledge of the clinical and ultrasound manifestations of TAO is essential.
