Application of ultrasound biomicroscopy in ocular injury glaucoma
Shi H-X; Meng X-XInternational Journal of Ophthalmology 2008; 8: 2130-2131
AIM: To investigate the importance of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in evaluation of ocular injury glaucoma. METHODS: Thirty ocular injury patients with elevated IOP were examined, and the results were recorded objectively. RESULTS: The results were divided to anterior chamber hyphema, angle of anterior chamber paramorphia, and subluxation of lens. In these 30 patients, there were 5 patients with pure recession of anterior chamber angle, 6 patients with pure paramorphia of anterior chamber angle, 11 patients with anterior chamber hyphema and paramorohia of anterior chamber angle (include narrow anterior chamber angle, closed anterior chamber angle and recession of anterior chamber angle), 3 patients with paramorohia of anterior chamber angle and subluxation of lens, 5 patients with all. CONCLUSION: UBM is important in the evaluation of ocular injury glaucoma, especially when clinicians can't observe the anterior chamber through slit lamp because of muddy refracting media. UBM has the unique dominance and important significance in diagnosis and treatment of ocular injury glaucoma. LA: Chinese
