Real-time sonography in ocular trauma.

Reliability of Ocular Ultrasonography Findings for Pre-surgical Evaluation in Various Vitreo-retinal Disorders

“…Various studies have reported the undisputed role of USG in the identification of IOFB with sensitivity of more than 95%. [4][5][6] The high degree of sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound in localizing IOFB makes it a useful and non-invasive investigation.…”

“…Ultrasound is being routinely used in ophthalmology for diagnosis and management of various conditions, such as retinal detachment (RD), vitreous hemorrhage, ocular trauma, intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB), retinal tears with or without posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), dense cataract, and intraocular tumors. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] These studies found that USG provides valuable and reliable preoperative information for the management of these patients.…”

Current trends in the management of intraocular foreign bodies

“…2c) [15,16]. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) has also been used to localize occult IOFBs located in the posterior iris or ciliary body region [17 ,18].…”

Limitation of computed tomography scan in ocular trauma in diagnosing posterior globe rupture and retinal detachment

“…Gentle B-scan technique with gel application on closed eyelids, with longitudinal and transverse section, can provide ample information. A retrospective study by Kwong et al 9 reported that, of 71 ultrasound examinations performed on patients with ocular trauma, 51 cases of vitreous hemorrhage were detected and 37 cases had retinal detachment. Other findings detected by sonography included subchoroidal bleed, choroidal detachment, dislocated lens and intraocular foreign bodies.…”
