| Popis: | * BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To examine anatomic relationships of anterior and posterior chamber structures in iris retraction syndrome using ultrasound bìomìcroscopy. * PATIENTS AND METHODS: Four eyes of four patients with iris retraction syndrome were imaged using high-frequency, high-resolution, anterior segment ultrasound biomicroscopy. In two patients, scans were obtained before and after medical therapy. * RESULTS: Three patients presented wirh iris retraction configuration and one with iris bombe. In the latter case, iris bombe converted to iris retraction and back to Ìris bombe with the administration and later withdrawal of aqueous suppressants. Ciliochoroidal effusion was present in all eyes. * CONCLUSIONS: Ciliochoroidal effusion is a constant feature of iris retraction syndrome. The hypotony associated with this disorder may result in part from aqueous hyposecretion related to ciliary body detachment. Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a useful aid in the diagnosis and follow-up of eyes with iris retraction syndrome. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers 1996;27:257-262.] |
