  • Title: Ultrasound biomicroscopy in anterior ocular trauma.
    Author: Berinstein DM, Gentile RC, Sidoti PA, Stegman Z, Tello C, Liebmann JM, Ritch R.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 1997 Mar; 28(3):201-7. PubMed ID: 9076793.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The authors investigated the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy after ocular trauma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ultrasound biomicroscopy was performed in six eyes of six patients at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary after a variety of traumatic ocular injuries. RESULTS: Eyes with angle recession, iridodialysis, cyclodialysis, hyphema, an intraocular foreign body, scleral laceration, and subluxed crystalline lens were imaged without complication. Ultrasound biomicroscopy aided in the diagnosis when visualization was limited by media opacities or distorted anterior segment anatomy. CONCLUSION: Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a safe and effective adjunctive tool for the clinical assessment and management of ocular trauma, especially when visualization is limited and multiple traumatic injuries are involved.
