Value of color doppler imaging in diagnosis of intrabulbar and intraorbital tumors

Patients with intrabulbar and intraorbital tumors have been invastigated by color-Doppler imaging.Internal blood flow of intraorbital haemangioma was slower than inside the melanoma and the resistance index was lower. In the first group there were 20 patients with malignant melanoma of the uvea and in the second group there were 19 patients with cavernous angioma. The third group was the control group represented by 20 healthy individuals. In the gruop of patients with uvea melanoma has been established that every patient, exept one, has blood flow inside of tumor tissue. Inernal blood flow of intraorbital haemangioma was lower than inside the melanoma and the resistance index was lower. Comparison of blood flow in all patients has shown that there is no statistically significant difference between ophthalmic artery, central retinal artery and posterior ciliary arteries exept in maximal blood flow in central retinal artery and posterior ciliary arteries.
