To investigate the character of intermediate uveitis by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and determine the potential and usefulness of UBM as a diagnostic procedure in intermediate uveitis.
Twenty-one cases (35 eyes) of intermediate uveitis were diagnosed by slit lamp biomicroscopy and indirect binocular ophthalmoscopy with scleral indentation. UBM was performed on 35 eyes of 21 patients with intermediate uveitis in order to determine the configuration of pars, plana peripheral retina and vitreous.
In 31 of 35 eyes, pathological structures such as spotted or membraneous vitreous condensations, vitreoretinal adhesions with traction on the peripheral retina and ciliary body detachment were identified by UBM. In four eyes, no abnormalities were identified by UBM.
UBM seems to be a valuable diagnostic technique for the evaluation of patients with intermediate uveitis.
通过超声生物显微镜（UBM）研究中间葡萄膜炎的特征，并确定UBM作为中间葡萄膜炎诊断方法的潜力和实用性。
通过裂隙灯生物显微镜检查和间接双眼检眼镜巩膜压陷法诊断21例（35只眼）中间葡萄膜炎。对21例中间葡萄膜炎患者的35只眼进行UBM检查，以确定睫状体平坦部、周边视网膜和玻璃体的形态。
在35只眼中的31只眼中，UBM检查发现了点状或膜状玻璃体浓缩、玻璃体视网膜粘连伴周边视网膜牵拉以及睫状体脱离等病理结构。在4只眼中，UBM未发现异常。
UBM似乎是评估中间葡萄膜炎患者的一种有价值的诊断技术。
