Review the congenital and acquired ocular pathology that may involve the pediatric orbit. Review ocular sonography performed in our center, select the most representative images and illustrate the characteristic radiological images.

Ultrasound is the technique of choice for evaluating orbital pathology in children in the initial study of a wide spectrum of diseases and an additional tool for the ophthalmoscopic assessment Orbital pathology is divided into: Congenital: Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, congenital cataracts, coloboma, drusen, coats disease and congenital microphthalmos. Acquired: traumatism and tumors. Ocular sonography is able to demonstrate the morphology of the lesions, solid or cystic nature or the presence of calcification, hemorrhage, retinal/choroid detachment and foreign bodies. The study was performed placing the transducer directly on the eyelids after applying gel on them. Ocular assessment begins with the identification of the anatomical characteristics and must continue with the specific characteristics and structural abnormalities. The indications of the ocular ultrasound are: Opacity of the ocular media, marked pupillary miosis, visible mass on clinical examination, retinal/choroid detachment, trauma, foreign body and clinical suspicion of congenital microphthalmia
