[Echographic findings in choroidal detachment]

A- and B-scan sonography was performed in 83 patients with choroidal detachment; a serous choroidal detachment is characterized by high, bifurcated echospikes and an echo-free subchoroidal space in A-scan sonography. The B-scan presents a typical arc shape. In hemorrhagic choroidal detachment multiple echoes with low to medium reflectivity can be demonstrated in the subchoroidal space. The echographic differential diagnosis of other intraocular diseases is discussed.
