This study aimed to analyze and subsequently recapitulate the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) characteristics in orbital cavernous venous malformation (CVM), exploring the key aspects of differential diagnosis. Several orbital CVM cases (n=56) confirmed by surgery and pathology at Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital (Chengdu, China) were analyzed retrospectively. The conventional ultrasound showed mostly hypoechoic orbital CVM lesions (64.2%), with clear boundaries (98.2%) and quasi-circular (100%) characteristics. However, the blood flow signals were not rich enough, overlapping with other orbital space-occupying lesions to a considerable extent. The CEUS imaging showed a characteristic progressive enhancement pattern of focal nodules in CVM lesions. In conclusion, CEUS may offer certain specificity and positive significance for the preoperative qualitative diagnosis of orbital CVM.
本研究旨在分析并随后概括眼眶海绵状静脉畸形(CVM)的超声造影(CEUS)特征,探索鉴别诊断的关键要点。回顾性分析了四川省人民医院(中国成都)经手术及病理证实的数例眼眶CVM病例(n = 56)。常规超声显示眼眶CVM病变大多为低回声(64.2%),边界清晰(98.2%),呈类圆形(100%)。然而,血流信号不够丰富,在很大程度上与其他眼眶占位性病变重叠。CEUS成像显示CVM病变中的局灶性结节具有特征性的渐进性增强模式。总之,CEUS对眼眶CVM的术前定性诊断可能具有一定的特异性和积极意义。
