Palpation

Placing pressure through the eyelids can help determine the location and contents of the globes.

Oral Examination

In the presence of exopthalmos, pain on opening the mouth indicates an inflammatory process, whilst no pain indicates a neoplastic process. Where possible the soft tissue caudal to the rear upper molar should be palpated.

Ultrasound

Useful for evaluating soft tissue masses

MRI/CT

Useful for localising lesions, surgical planning and FNA/biopsies where appropriate.
