Posterior segment ultrasonic evaluation of cases of traumatic corneo-scleral lacerations in pediatric eyes

Abstract

Background: From harmless corneal abrasion to vision-threatening retinal detachment, ocular injuries manifest in a wide variety of ways. Frequently, injuries are preventable, and these incidents in children can result in lifelong disabilities which pose a substantial socioeconomic burden on society. Ophthalmic ultrasound is a medical imaging tool used to assess posterior segment lesions in eyes with opaque ocular media. Whenever other radiological tests (X-Ray) are negative, B-scan ultrasound offers beneficial data with regard to the existence of any type of ocular foreign body. It guides therapeutic decision-making concerning the late impacts of ocular trauma. Aim of the Work: the purpose of this prospective work was to assess the posterior segment in pediatric patients with corneo-scleral lacerations using B-scan ultrasonography. Patients and Methods: This prospective work was performed on 50 eyes of 50 kids with traumatic corneo-scleral lacerations was attending
