[Ultrasound biomicroscopy in the monitoring of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome] [English Abstract, Journal Article]
Vestn Oftalmol 2009 May-Jun; 125(3):27-31.
Detailed analysis of scanning images obtained at ultrasound biomicroscopy (USBM) in 11 patients with iridocorneal endothelial syndrome revealed the USBM signs reflecting pathological changes in the anterior eyeball. The value of USBM is that the technique permits evaluation of the involvement of anatomic structures into the pathological process in corpore as this is the only mode of lifetime imaging of high-resolution silent eyeball areas. It is also important that USBM can differentiate the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome from other abnormalities with the same clinical picture. The authors recommend that USBM be used to diagnose and to monitor different types of the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.
