[Ultrasound biomicroscopy in diagnosis of uveal tumors]

Detailed analysis of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) scanogrammes of 232 patients (232 eyes), aged 4-78 years old, with various uveal lesions was performed including comparison with morphologic study of specimens obtained after tumor removal. Results of the study showed UBM to allow to obtain objective data on location, configuration, size and structure of lesions of iris, ciliary body and preequatorial choroid. In a number of cases UBM virtually is the only option of vital visualization of the whole tumor.
