PINEIRO-CES, A.; BLANCO-TEIJEIRO, M.J.; MERA-YANEZ, M.P. e CAPEANS-TOME, C.. Ultrasound diagnosis in vasoproliferative tumours of the ocular fundus. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2011, vol.86, n.8, pp.247-253. ISSN 0365-6691.
Objective: The aim of this work is to describe the ultrasound features in vasoproliferative tumours of the ocular fundus (VPTOF). Methods: The medical records corresponding to eight patients were retrospectively studied. Clinical data from the complete ophthalmologic examination and ultrasonographic findings were analysed. Results: Nodular masses affecting either the retina or both the retina and the choroid were found. The surface contour of the tumour was regular in 5, and irregular in 3 cases. In terms of dimensions (mm/ SD), the average major base was 7.14/2.56; the minor base 6.74/2.48 and the height 2.38/1.26. Internal structure was always solid and irregular and reflectivity was mostly medium to high in 6 eyes. Angle kappa was not present in any case. No vascularity signs were detected. Conclusion: According to the results it is suggested that when a differential diagnosis of VPTOF is carried out, not only should ophthalmoscopic signs be studied, but an ultrasound examination should also be done.
