[Cystic-structure echographic imaging in retinal detachment]

The B-type echographic exam in retinal detachment shows in the most accurate way the detached retina. In the total detachments the aspect reproduced the V-image, because in the perpendicular section, the retinal folds join at the papilla. By the rotation of the transducer, when the oblique echographic section get close to the perpendicular section, it may be moved on the monitor like two heterogeneous planes or like a chistic echographic image in the vitreous. This show the importance of the chistic echographic image in the differential diagnosis of the retinal detachment.
