B-scan ultrasonography of retinal detachments.

Characteristic ultrasonsographic patterns of retinal detachment in a variety of clinical circumstances are demonstrated and discussed. Uncomplicated retinal detachment consists of ultrasonically detected retinal detachment without associated pathology in the vitreous, subretinal space, or choroid. The simultaneous detection of lesions in one or more of these areas may be a source of diagnostic confusion. Acoustic diagnostic criteria for differentiation of associated conditions in complicated retinal detachments are demonstrated and discussed. High resolution A-scan and B-scan ultrasonography provides a method for detection and diagnosis of retinal detachment, associated ocular pathology, and simulating conditions.

Resorption of intravitreal blood following vitrectomy.

Eight rhesus monkeys underwent unilateral vitrectomy and subsequent injection of blood into both vitreous cavities. There was no significant inflammation, cataract, delayed corneal healing, or elevated intraocular pressure. Blood in the operated eyes dispersed immediately while blood in the control eyes did not disperse until seven to 14 days after injection. All operated eyes showed more rapid clearing of blood than control eyes containing formed vitreous. This result occurred in the presence or absence of the crystalline lens.
