  ABSTRACT Orbital echography should be one of the basic means of examinations in diagnosis of exophthalmos. But ophthalmic ultrasound is not generally available and relatively expensive for most provincial hospitals in Thailand. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate and evaluate the reliability of a real-time, linear array scanner in findings of orbital lesions and differentiation of tissues.
