Vitreoretinal Disorders

Publication year: 2008Source: Ultrasound Clinics, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2008, Pages 217-228Sumit, Sharma , Alexandre A.C.M., Ventura , Nadia, WaheedVitreoretinal diseases are the most common indication for ultrasonographic imaging of the posterior segment. Using ultrasound, it is possible to identify, evaluate, and follow numerous posterior segment conditions such as retinal tears, vitreous and retinal detachments, retinoschisis, retinal pigment epithelium detachment, subretinal hemorrhage, and eccentric disciform lesions. It is imperative to conduct a thorough examination of all the quadrants to avoid missing any pathology, and to evaluate the vitreous body, posterior hyaloid, subvitreal space, retina, choroid, sclera, optic disc, and macular region.

Distinguishing ultrasonographic characteristics of intraocular tumors result from their different histopathologic compositions that can be evaluated with one-dimensional reflectivity analysis (A-scan) and two-dimensional acoustic section (B-scan). Information regarding location, shape, and acoustic characteristics is considered together to aid the diagnosis of intraocular tumors. Determination of size progression and extension is critical in selecting and monitoring management.

Lymphoma of the testis and epididymis mimics chronic inflammation upon sonography
Dal Mo Yang, Hyun Cheol Kim, Wook Jin, Hyung Lae Lee, Gyo Young Kim Tue, 28 Oct 2008 18:27:00 -0000
We report the sonographic findings in a case of lymphoma, which mimicked chronic inflammation. Scrotal gray-scale sonography revealed an irregularly margined, hypoechoic mass in the right testis and epididymis. Color Doppler sonography showed increased blood flow within the hypoechoic lesions in both testis and epididymis. Pathologic examination revealed a diffuse involvement of the testis and epididymis. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2009
A biometric study of the fetal orbit and lens in normal pregnancies
Kanchapan Sukonpan, Vorapong Phupong Sat, 18 Oct 2008 11:27:00 -0000
To construct nomograms of the size of the fetal orbit and lens and to evaluate the relationships between the gestational age and the biometry of the fetal orbit and lens.Six hundred two normal pregnant women were evaluated from 15 to 40 weeks of gestation. Fetal orbital and lens measurements were added to routine biometric measurements for normal fetuses.A total of 595 measurements were used for analyses. A strong linear correlation was observed between gestational age and orbital diameter, orbital circumference, and orbital surface. A linear correlation was also found between gestational age and lens diameter, lens circumference, and lens surface. A linear growth function was observed between biparietal diameter and both the orbital diameter and the lens diameter.Orbital and lens measurements provide data that correlate with fetal growth and development. These data may also help detect fetal ocular abnormalities. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2008
Role of endoscopic ultrasound in the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer
Adrian S[abreve]ftoiu, Peter Vilmann Sat, 18 Oct 2008 11:27:00 -0000
Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer remains a difficult task, and multiple imaging tests have been proposed over the years. The aim of this review is to describe the current role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for the diagnosis and staging of patients with pancreatic cancer. A detailed search of MEDLINE between 1980 and 2007 was performed using the following keywords: pancreatic cancer, endoscopic ultrasound, diagnosis, and staging. References of the selected articles were also browsed and consulted. Despite progress made with other imaging methods, EUS is still considered to be superior for the detection of clinically suspected lesions, especially if the results of other cross-sectional imaging modalities are equivocal. The major advantage of EUS is the high negative predictive value that approaches 100%, indicating that the absence of a focal mass reliably excludes pancreatic cancer. The introduction of EUS-guided fine needle aspiration allows a preoperative diagnosis in patients with resectable cancer, as well as a confirmation of diagnosis before chemoradiotherapy for those that are not. This comprehensive review highlighted the diagnostic capabilities of EUS including the newest refinements such as contrast-enhanced EUS, EUS elastography, and 3-dimensional EUS. The place of EUS-guided biopsy is also emphasized, including the addition of molecular marker techniques. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound, 2008
