“…Two were examples of RBH with a single hypoechoic area posterior to the globe, but there were no case details and neither was confirmed by CT (7,11). The third case involved severely elevated intraocular pressure and very latestage conical deformation of the globe, but did not demonstrate a classic hypoechoic collection on ultrasound (12).…”

“…Point-of-care ultrasound has become an accurate, inexpensive, rapid, and noninvasive method to evaluate the eye for lens dislocation, foreign bodies, and retinal detachment in patients presenting to the ED with ocular trauma or acute loss of vision (12). Lens dislocation is a relatively straightforward diagnosis with the use of point-of care ultrasound.…”

“…Its attachments include the corneoscleral junction anteriorly and the optic nerve posteriorly. Tenon’s capsule is pierced by the tendons of the extraocular muscle [ 4 , 5 ]. The sclera and the cornea form the fibrous outermost layer; the vascular uveal tract, including the ciliary body anteriorly and the choroid posteriorly, forms the middle layer; and the retina forms the innermost, sensory layer.…”

Ocular B-mode ultrasonography (US) is an important adjuvant for the clinical assessment of a variety of ocular diseases. When ophthalmoscopy is not possible, mainly due to opacification of the transparent media (e.g., mature cataract or vitreous haemorrhage), US can guide the ophthalmologist in diagnosing disease and choosing treatment. The superficial location and cystic structure of the eye make US ideal for imaging of the eye. Moreover, dynamic study helps distinguish between various conditions that would otherwise be difficult to differentiate in some clinical setting, such as vitreous, retinal, and choroidal detachment. US is also good technique for detecting other pathologic conditions such as lens dislocation, vitreous haemorrhage, asteroid hyalosis, optic disc drusen, and tumors (e.g., choroidal melanoma, metastases, hemangioma). An understanding of the basic anatomy of the eye, the US technique, and common entities that affect the ocular globe will allow radiologists to offer this valuable imaging modality to patients and referring clinicians. This article focuses on the US anatomy and pathologic conditions that affect the posterior ocular segment.Teaching points• US is specially indicated when ocular fundus cannot be assessed on ophthalmoscopy.• Multipurpose equipment with high-frequency transducers is optimal for imaging the eye.• Ultrasound can reliably depict ocular anatomy and pathology as detachments and tumours.• Dynamic examination is vital for distinguishing certain pathologic conditions as detachments.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s13244-016-0471-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
