Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim of this work is to describe the ultrasound features in vasoproliferative tumors of the ocular fundus (VPTOF). MethodsThe medical records corresponding to eight patients were retrospectively studied. Clinical data from the complete ophthalmologic examination and ultrasonographic findings were analyzed. ResultsNodular masses affecting either the retina or both the retina and the choroid were found. The surface contour of the tumor was regular in 5, and irregular in 3 cases. In terms of dimensions (mm/SD), the average major base was 7.14/2.56; the minor base was 6.74/2.48 and the height was 2.38/1.26. Internal structure was always solid and irregular, and reflectivity was mostly medium–high in 6 eyes. Angle kappa was not present in any case. No vascularity signs were detected. ConclusionAccording to the results it is suggested that when a differential diagnosis of VPTOF is carried out, not only should ophthalmoscopic signs be studied, but an ultrasound examination should also be done.
