Doppler measurement of blood flow velocities in extraocular orbital vessels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Abstract

Color Doppler sonographic measurements of blood flow parameters in the orbital vessels may differ significantly between patients with OSAS and those without the syndrome. Therefore, OSAS should be considered in addition to other conditions when interpreting the results of color Doppler sonography of the extraocular orbital vessels if the clinical history points toward such a diagnosis.
