B-scan ultrasonography of ocular abnormalities: a review of 182 dogs
Authors
Abstract:
Ultrasonography is the only practical method for obtaining images of the posterior segment of the eye when the light-conducting media are opaque. In this study, 182 dogs with ocular abnormalities presented to the Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology from December 2008-August 2010 were included. All the animals were subjected to detailed ophthalmic examination and B-scan ultrasonography of the eyes with a 7.5-18 MHz linear probe. Ultrasonography revealed thin hyperechoic lines of the lens indicating early cataract changes in 40 cases. In 10 cases, thin hyperechoic rims around the lens suggestive of cortical cataract wereevident. In 82 cases, the entire lens was echogenically consistent with complete cataract (nuclear cataract). In 3 cases the capsule appeared wrinkled, suggesting morgagnian cataract. To obtain images from the posterior segment of the eye, a 7.5-12 MHz linear probe was used. In two cases, there was sub-luxation of the lens, while in 14 cases, retinal detachment was observed. Complicated retinal detachments had occurred in four cases. Posterior vitreal degeneration was seen in 15 dogs. Ultrasonography revealed vitreal hemorrhage in 10 cases and asteroid hyalosis and optic nerve avulsion in one case each.

Unilateral exophthalmos is an important clinical ophthalmic problem. A clinical diagnosis of the cause of the exophthalmos is often very difficult. B-scan ultrasonography is an important new diagnostic modality with great potential in determination of the nature of orbital pathology. The earliest ophthalmic applications of ultrasound were reported by Mundt and Hughes (I956). A-scan ultrasound, ...
full textB-scan ultrasonography of the anterior segment of the eye.
B-scan ultrasonograms of the anterior segment were performed on selected patients. The difficulties in imaging the anterior segment are discussed and the value of this technique is demonstrated by illustration of B-scans in different pathological conditions. This technique can often provide important information and allow an early and accurate prognosis.
