In 21 cases of beginning atrophy of the eye bulb, ultrasongraphy revealed abnormal echoes reflected by equatorial and preequatorial parts of the bulbar shell. In addition, ultrasonography revealed a shortening of the bulbar axis by 0.88 mm and a thickening of the retroequatorial sclera up to 2.1 mm on an average. By correlation of the echogram and microscopic sections the presumption of an edema of the peripheral choroid and the ciliary body could be verified in 6 cases. Thus echography makes possible an earlier diagnosis of beginning bulbar atrophy than does the clinical symtomatology. In such cases surgical procedures for improvement of hypotony are useless or even detrimental.
在21例眼球早期萎缩病例中，超声检查显示眼球壁赤道部和赤道前部有异常回声。此外，超声检查显示眼球轴平均缩短0.88毫米，赤道后巩膜平均增厚达2.1毫米。通过超声心动图与显微切片的对比，6例病例可证实周边脉络膜和睫状体水肿的推测。因此，与临床症状相比，超声检查能够更早诊断眼球早期萎缩。在这种情况下，改善低眼压的手术是无用的，甚至是有害的。
