Aims and Objectives:To assess the diagnostic value of B -Scan ultrasonography in evaluation of posterior segment disorders of eye and correlate the results with clinical diagnosis. Material and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study of ultrasound B-scan was performed on 170 eligible eyes of 136 patients. Results: Maximum 72 (52.94%) cases belong to 51-70 age group. 86/136 (63.24%) were males and 50/136 (36.77%) were females. 148 (87.05%) cases presented with opaque media and 22(12.94%) with clear media. 52 (30.59%) patients had a history of trauma and 34 (25%) subjects presented for issue of blindness certificate. Most common final diagnosis was retinal detachment in 42 (24.70%) eyes, posterior vitreous detachment in 35 (20.6%) eyes, vitreous haemorrhage in 32 (18.82%) eyes, globe tear in 8 (4.70%) eyes, dislocated lens in vitreous in 8 (4.70%) eyes, asteroid hyalosis in 8 (4.70%) eyes, phthisis bulbi in 7 (4.11%) eyes, dislocated PCIOL in 6 (3.52%), endophthalmitis in 5 (2.94%) eyes, s/p scleral buckling in 5 (2.94%), retinoblastoma in 4 (2.35%) eyes, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous in 3 (1.76%) eyes, retinochoroidal coloboma in 2 (1.17%) eyes, silicon oil vitreous in 2 (1.17%) eyes, and 1 (0.58%) eye each with metallic intraocular foreign body with endophthalmitis with occult scleral perforation, choroidal detachment and optic disc drusen. Conclusions: Ultrasound confirmed the provisional diagnosis in 50 eyes (29.41%) and supplemented or subclassified the diagnosis in 119 eyes (70%). Depending upon the clinical findings and B-scan these patients were either intervened surgically or a more complete diagnosis could be documented after B-scan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
