[Ultrasonographic imaging of retinal detachment in retinopathy of prematurity]

The authors presented results of ultrasonographic examinations of 89 eyes of newborns, aged 2-12 months, in the stadium V of ROP. Analysis of the configuration of detached retina in A and B scan was done. In 48.3% of cases the funnel was narrow both anterior and posterior and only in 7.8% it was open in both parts. In vitreous fibrous proliferations and dense opacities were observed. In the majority of cases ultrasonography revealed subretinal densities and proliferations, and in 17% of the eyes calcifications.
