Cataract is a treatable cause of blindness. A good post-operative outcome can be achieved with appropriate evaluation of unsuspected posterior segment disorders before the surgery by B san Ultrasonography evaluation. This study assess use B-scan ultrasonogram to visualize status of posterior segment of eye glob, hidden disorders and their percentage that affect the prognosis outcome of cataract surgery. A prospective study was done at the radiological department, using B -scan ultrasound examination of 151 patient candidates for cataract surgery, characterized as 128 patient of non-traumatized and 23 patient with a history of trauma for more than one month. Out of 151 patient, there was 38 patient (25.1%) with abnormal posterior segment disorders. In the non-traumatic group, out of 128 patient, there are 23 patients (17.96%) with abnormal posterior segment disorders. In the traumatic group, out of 23 patient, there are 15 patients (65%) of the abnormal posterior segment. The highest posterior segment disorder in non-traumatic cataract was retinal detachment of 10 patient (43.47%) and at traumatic patient of retinal detachment of 5 patient (33.33%) and vitreous body haemorrhage of 5 patient (33.33%). For patients with systemic risk factors as diabetes mellitus and hypertension, the most frequent lesion was vitreous haemorrhage. In conclusion B-scan ultrasonogram is highly valuable, sensitive and specific, and widely available for detection of posterior segment disorders and its recommended to be a routine examination before the cataract surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
