“…Jamil Ahmed et al (18) (2009) conducted a study 73 eyes of 68 patients with vitreous opacities and concluded that B-scan was very useful in detection and evaluation of vitreo-retinal pathologies Jemeld B et al (19) (1980) examined 93 diabetics (168 eyes) with opaque ocular media and low visual acuity by ultrasonography. The ultrasonic accuracy was checked in 49 eyes at vitrectomy.…”

BACKGROUND: The superficial location of the eye, its cystic composition, and the advent of high-frequency ultrasound make sonography ideal for imaging the eye. Ultrasonography is a simple, readily available, non-invasive, non-ionizing, highly accurate, real time and cost effective modality. OBJECTIVES: 1) To evaluate the accuracy of high resolution Bmode ultrasonography in the diagnosis of posterior segment lesions of eye as compared to ophthalmoscopic examination particularly in cases of opaque conducting media. 2) To evaluate sonographic appearances of various posterior segment lesions of the eye. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 1) A prospective study was carried out on 62 cases with suspected posterior segment lesions of eye. All patients clinically suspected to have posterior segment lesions in the presence of opaque conducting media were included in the study. Cases suspected to have isolated anterior segmental and extra ocular lesions were excluded. 2) HRUS was performed with Philips IU22 using high frequency probe (5 to 17 MHz) utilizing contact method. 3) Sonological diagnosis was made based on sonographic features such as location, morphology, echo pattern, color Doppler characteristics, kinetics of the lesion with eye movements and acoustic characteristics of the lesion. 4) Subsequent clinical, lab investigations, surgical and histopathological examinations were carried out as applicable and final diagnosis was made which was correlated with the sonological diagnosis. Sonological diagnosis was also compared with ophthalmoscopic diagnosis. STATISTICAL ANALYSES: The validities and diagnostic accuracies of high resolution ultrasound and ophthalmoscopic examinations were calculated and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1) Ultrasound was the initial imaging modality opted in most of the cases as it was readily available, simple and cost effective modality. It establishes the diagnosis in significant number of cases superseding the accuracy of ophthalmoscopic diagnosis with significant difference (p-value < 0.0001). 2) It is particularly well suited in cases of opaque conducting media when direct ophthalmoscopy is not possible. 3) HRUS is a highly sensitive modality and it can reliably differentiate various ocular detachments, vitreoretinal disorders and neoplastic lesions with significant accuracy.

“…Em todos os casos, a cirurgia foi contra-indicada no olho com DR e foi realizada no olho contralateral. Em estudo realizado com 93 pacientes humanos diabéticos (168 olhos), Jerneld et al (1980) diagnosticaram, ultra-sonograficamente, DR em 32% dos olhos. Neste mesmo trabalho, determinou-se que a acurácia do ultra-som no diagnóstico de DR foi de apenas 78%.…”

Avaliação ultra-sonográfica do segmento posterior de olhos de cães diabéticos e não diabéticos portadores de catarata

A catarata impossibilita a passagem de luz dentro do olho, dificultando o exame físico direto das estruturas oculares. É necessária a identificação prévia de quaisquer alterações oculares que contra-indiquem a cirurgia de catarata. A ultra-sonografia, ou ecografia ocular, é um exame seguro, de baixo custo, não invasivo, de fácil realização, que completa o exame oftálmico. Foi realizada avaliação ultra-sonográfica, com transdutor linear, freqüência de 10 MHz, de 225 olhos de 123 cães, sendo cães controle (Grupo 1), 52 cães não diabéticos portadores de catarata (Grupo 2) e 35 cães diabéticos portadores de catarata (Grupo 3), todos eles atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade de São Paulo. Foram encontradas as seguintes alterações ultra-sonográficas no Grupo 1: degeneração vítrea em 43%, descolamento de vítreo posterior em 7,7%, hialose asteróide em 4,6% dos olhos; no Grupo 2: degeneração vítrea em 58,9%, descolamento de vítreo posterior em 8,4%, hialose asteróide em 2,1%, processo inflamatório e/ou hemorrágico em 2,1% e descolamento de retina em 4,3% dos olhos; e no Grupo 3: degeneração vítrea em 50,7%, descolamento de vítreo posterior em 13,8%, hialose asteróide em 12,3%, processo inflamatório e/ou hemorrágico em 3,1% e descolamento de retina em 3,1% dos olhos. Concluiu-se, que (1) cães diabéticos, principalmente os que apresentam a doença há mais de 2 anos, tem maior predisposição para o desenvolvimento de hialose asteróide; (2) não houve diferença entre a freqüencia de descolamento de retina encontrada em cães diabéticos e não diabéticos; e (3) a ultra-sonografia ocular é em exame seguro, eficaz e importante na avaliação pré-operatória de cães portadores de catarata.
