B scan ultrasonographic diagnosis of peripheral choroidal neovascularization

摘要

Results: The location of peripheral neovascularization was temporal in 100% of cases. The lesions were bilateral in one case and became bilateral in two cases. The echographic features were: irregular surface in 73% of eyes, heterogeneous aspect in 73%, high reflectivity in 80%, blistering aspect in 60%. The mean thickness was 2,4 mm. Follow-up study showed thickness decrease of lesions between 6 weeks and 12 months. Peripheral choroidal neovascularization was diagnosed clinically in 80% of cases, and 83% using ultrasonographic investigation.
