High-frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy has allowed eye care specialists to evaluate posterior extension of anterior segment tumors. This article evaluates the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy for the diagnosis and management of anterior segment tumors.
Fourteen patients with anterior segment tumors were selected for evaluation. Each patient underwent a complete clinical examination followed by slit-lamp photography and ultrasound biomicroscopy.
Unlike standard ultrasonography of anterior segment tumors, high-frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy allowed quantitative measurements of tumor size, extension within and posterior to the iris, as well as differentiation of solid and cystic lesions. These characteristics were used to differentially diagnose anterior segment tumors and document the response of iridociliary body melanomas to radiotherapy.
This study demonstrates how ultrasound biomicroscopy has become an effective and necessary procedure, used for both the diagnosis and management of anterior segment tumors.
高频超声生物显微镜使眼科护理专家能够评估眼前节肿瘤的向后扩展情况。本文评估超声生物显微镜在眼前节肿瘤诊断和治疗中的作用。
选择14例眼前节肿瘤患者进行评估。每位患者均接受了全面的临床检查，随后进行裂隙灯照相和超声生物显微镜检查。
与眼前节肿瘤的标准超声检查不同，高频超声生物显微镜能够对肿瘤大小、在虹膜内及虹膜后的扩展情况进行定量测量，还能区分实性和囊性病变。这些特征被用于鉴别诊断眼前节肿瘤，并记录虹膜睫状体黑色素瘤对放疗的反应。
本研究证明了超声生物显微镜已成为用于眼前节肿瘤诊断和治疗的一种有效且必要的检查方法。
