Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
AIM;To assess the diagnostic value of B-scan ultrasonography in evaluation of posterior segment disorders of eye in clear and hazy media. Material and Methods: This Observational Prospective Study of B-scan was conducted in the Ophthalmology department of a tertiary care hospital over a period of one year fromSeptember 2017 to August2018,180 patients with known and suspicious posterior segment pathology were evaluated. Detailed ocular and systemic history, a thorough ocular examination including visual acuity, refraction,ocular movement, and slit lamp and fundus examination with indirect ophthalmoscopy were done. Ultrasonography diagnosis was made by with general purposemachine usinghigh frequency wave.Results: Out of 180 patients, 123 (68%) were males and 57 (32%) -females. The patients had an age range between 6 months to 70 years. Majority of patients (34.4%) were in the age group ≥61 years. The most common indication of ocular sonography in our study was opaque media due to lenticular opacity (52.5%). Ninty four patients (52.2%) did not demonstrate any posterior segment pathology on B-scan echography. Two most common posterior segment lesions found in our study were vitreous hemorrhage (VH) - 17.7% and retinal detachment (RD) combined with vitreous disorders- 8.9%, respectively. Other B-scan findings were isolated retinal detachment group,retinoblastoma,total choroidal detachment,endophthalmitis,dislocated PCIOL and phthisis bulbi. Conclusion: B-scan USG stands as an excellent, reliable, and cost-effective noninvasive radiological diagnostic modality for proper evaluation of a variety of ocular disorders in both clear and opaque media.
