Opening of the article
A prospective study was conducted to assess the role of sonography in ocular diagnosis. Theirty six (36) patients with suspected ocular disease were examined using non-dedicated ultrasound scanners by small part probe. Sonographic (US) findings were correlated with clinical course of disease, surgical or histopathological findings. Amongst 29 patients with opaque media, US diagnosis was correct in 27 and partially correct in 2 patients. In 7 patients with clear media, US diagnosis was correct in 6, partially correct in one patient, and gave additional information in 2 patients.
