A 88-year-old woman with a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension presented to the emergency department after an unilateral blindness initiating 9 hours prior to attendance. In the emergency department (ED), the patient's vital signs were as follows: blood pressure was 176/89 mmHg, heart rate 117/min, respiratory rate 19/min and body temperature 38.6 o C. Physical examination was normal except presence of total blindness on her visual field. Urgent bedside emergency depar tment ocular ultrasonographic examination of was performed.

“…In a series of 50 eyes with melanoma, Doppler shifts could be detected in all patients except one. The tumor size varied between 80 and 1500 mm 3 . Doppler imaging has also been used to study an eye with secondary glaucoma and significantly increased intraocular pressure.…”

“…Modern ultrasound machines produce, detect, process and amplify these reflected echoes with high resolution [22]. Ultrasound was first used to image ophthalmic structures in the 1950s with the A-Scan [23,24] and, within a couple of years, the B-Scan [25]. Today, ultrasonography remains one of the most important imaging modalities available to evaluate intraocular tumors.…”

Imaging the intraocular tumor is multi-modal, multi-purposed, evolving and essential in the detection, diagnosis and surveillance of intraocular tumors. The most useful modalities for imaging intraocular tumors are drawing, photography, ultrasound and optical coherence tomography. A primary purpose of imaging the intraocular tumor is to document its precise appearance (and that of its secondary effects) at a point in time, thus permitting sequential images to accurately document change. However, an equally important reason for imaging is to gather diagnostic information that cannot be obtained from ophthalmic examination alone. The specific utility of each available imaging modality depends on the patient, tumor and ability of the clinician to interpret the data produced.
