Echographic follow-up in patients who have undergone sclero-uveotumorectomy

A-B scan echography provides accurate information on the location, the nature, the extension of a neoplasm and the involvement of neighbouring tissues as well as on the postsurgical evolution. In this study, we intend to give accurate and useful indications to the surgeon concerning conservative surgery and the follow-up after sclero-uveotumorectomy in cases of uveal neoformations. Between January 1988 and June 1996, we examined 46 patients by means of echography before and after sclero-uveotumorectomy.
