“…It may also be helpful in assessing anterior segment structures, optic nerve status, measurement of gross axial length or in cases where clinical examination is inconclusive. [3][4][5] B-scan USG is especially helpful in children as a detailed and meticulous examination may not always be possible; as it does not require any sedation or additional anaesthesia, it lends itself to use in children. Furthermore, it can be easily performed and is rapidly learnt.…”

We sought to evaluate the role and diagnostic potential of ocular B-scan ultrasonography in childhood eye disease in an observational cross-sectional study; 1091 patients with a total of 1445 eyes examined were studied. Cataract was the single most common indication for ultrasound followed by corneal pathology, ocular trauma, posterior segment pathology, primary congenital glaucoma, leukocoria, orbital pathology and other disease. Ultrasonography resulted in a change in diagnosis in 198 cases (18%). We conclude that B-scan ultrasonography plays an important adjunctive role in the management of childhood eye disease.

Purpose: To systematically observe and analyze the signs of deficient posterior capsule in posterior polar cataracts. Design: Ambispective observational study. Participants: Cases with posterior polar cataracts. Methods: Eyes with diagnosed posterior polar cataracts were imaged on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). A detailed assessment was performed to note the morphology of the posterior opacity, posterior capsule, and the common patterns to indicate their abnormality. In addition, generalized observation of the morphology was also performed about intraoperative surgical experiences. Results: A total of 101 eyes were included. Mean patient age was 52.85 ± 10.72 years. The posterior capsule integrity was identified as intact in 91 eyes and abnormal/deficient in 10 eyes (9 had intraoperative defective capsule). These deficient/abnormal morphologies were classified into 3 categories: conical (n = 2), moth-eaten (n = 5), and (3) ectatic (n = 3). Similarly, depending on the presence of hypoechoic spaces between the opacity and the capsule, remaining posterior polar cataracts were categorized into 2 generalized morphological types: without hypoechoic areas (n = 40) and with hypoechoic areas (n = 51). In the without hypoechoic areas group, 6 cases developed capsular rent; in the with hypoechoic areas group, 1 case developed capsular rent. Conclusions: In posterior polar cataracts, the deficient/abnormal capsular morphology could be specifically categorized into 3 categories, conical, moth-eaten, and ectatic types. In addition, to predict the ease of intraoperative separation between the opacity and the capsule, generalized categorization might help in better case management.
