[Complex ultrasound examination children with persisting hyperplastic primary vitreous].

Complex ultrasound examination was performed in 108 children with unilateral congenital cataract (UCC) and persisting hyperplastic primary vitreous syndrome (PHPVS) to reveal indications and contraindications for surgery. The presence of functioning vessels with linear blood flow velocity (LBFV) measurement was performed in fibrovascular band and retrolenticular membrane (RLM) in different stages of PHPVS using color Doppler and energetic mapping. The echographic density of fibrovascular band and RLM was estimated using echodensitometry. The results of the study showed correlation of PHPVS severity and fibrovascular band diameter, LBFV in the vessels of the band and echographic density of the band, RLM and their thickness as well.
