Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the role of UBM following anterior segment trauma. Methods: UBM (50 MHz) was performed in 9 eyes of 9 patients following a variety of traumatic ocular injuries. Results: Angle recession, trabecular tear, iridodialysis, cyclodialysis, hyphema, intraocular foreign body, subluxed lens, and scleral laceration, either alone or in combination were successfully imaged. UBM assisted in the diagnosis when visualization was limited by media opacities, or distorted anterior segment anatomy. Conclusion: The diagnosis and management of anterior segment trauma with UBM provides the surgeon an adjunctive tool for further clinical assessment and management, especially when multiple traumatic injuries are involved.
