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 ultrasonograph...

BACKGROUND B-scan ultrasonography is widely used in diagnostics of head and neck pathologies. Ultrasonography can be applied intraoperatively to identify foreign materials. CASE REPORT This case report describes the ultrasonographic identification of foreign bodies of the eye lid and parapharyngeal space in an adolescent who was injured several years ago, obviously a victim of domestic violen...

BACKGROUND The accurate localization of intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) is very important for the management of ocular trauma patients. B-scan ultrasonography is usually used to detect IOFBs in the posterior segment. Here, we report three cases with IOFBs in the anterior segment near the posterior lens capsule, which were accurately localized by B-scan ultrasonography under dynamic transvers...

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, ...
