| Summary: |
Purpose: to
evaluate the possibility and advantages of using
echography for optic nerve head estimation of glaucoma
patients.
Material and methods: 146 patients (146 eyes) –
group A and 20 glaucoma patients (24 eyes) – group B
underwent ultrasound investigation. On B – scan the
optic nerve head was evaluated with the help of 10 MHz
probe. In the patients with the possibility of glaucoma
with transparent ocular media the C/D ratio was measured.
Results: In 6 patients of group A large cup of
the optic disc was detected, which correlated with the
eye fundus picture. In group B only in one case there
was no correlation between echographic image of the
optic cup and the eye fundus picture.
Conclusions: During the ultrasound investigation
of the eyes of patients before cataract extraction,
corneal transplantation or vitreoretinal surgery we
suggest the echography imaging of the optic cup as a
routine procedure, which will be helpful in the
diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. |
