Vitreoretinal Disorders

Vitreoretinal diseases are the most common indication for ultrasonographic imaging of the posterior segment. Using ultrasound, it is possible to identify, evaluate, and follow numerous posterior segment conditions such as retinal tears, vitreous and retinal detachments, retinoschisis, retinal pigment epithelium detachment, subretinal hemorrhage, and eccentric disciform lesions. It is imperative to conduct a thorough examination of all the quadrants to avoid missing any pathology, and to evaluate the vitreous body, posterior hyaloid, subvitreal space, retina, choroid, sclera, optic disc, and macular region.
