  • Title: Ultrasound biomicroscopy in the diagnosis and management of limbal dermoid.
    Author: Grant CA, Azar D.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1999 Sep; 128(3):365-7. PubMed ID: 10511037.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report the use of ultrasound biomicroscopy in the diagnosis and management of limbal dermoid. METHOD: We used ultrasound biomicroscopy to examine an 18-month-old Asian girl with a congenital limbal mass with corneal extension. A biopsy of the mass was obtained. RESULTS: Clinical examination, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of limbal dermoid. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound biomicroscopy may serve as a useful diagnostic adjunct for limbal dermoids. Additionally, it may be helpful in delineating the extent of these lesions.
