Abstract

Purpose. To evaluate the UBM appearance of cyclitic membranes. Methods. Four eyes of 4 patients with hypotony and suspected cyclitic membrane were imaged using high frequency (50 MHz), high resolution (50 micron) anterior segment ultrasound biomicroscopy. Results. Mean patient age was 50.3 yrs. Three eyes were aphakic, one eye was pseudophakic. Each eye had undergone a mean of 2.5 (range 1-6) previous intraocular surgeries. Mean IOP was 3.4 ± 0.8 (S.E.) mmHg in the affected eyes and 14 ± 1.2 mmHg in the fellow eye (p=0.03, paired t-Test). A thick hyperreflective membrane (mean maximal thickness 0.60 ± 0.14 mm) covering the ciliary body and the peripheral posterior iris surface and effacement of the normal pars plicata architecture were found 360 degrees in all eyes. Annular ciliochoroidal effusion was present in one eye. Conclusions. Ultrasound biomicroscopy can be used to determine the presence cyclitic membranes, measure thicknesses, evaluate involvement of adjacent structures, and detect associated ciliary body detachment.
