Real-time sonography was evaluated retrospectively in 71 consecutive patients with ocular trauma. A total of 51 vitreous hemorrhages, 20 hemorrhages in the anterior chamber, 22 retinal detachments, seven choroidal detachments, five foreign bodies, and 12 dislocated lenses were identified sonographically. In 10 instances (three choroidal detachments, six retinal detachments, and one lens dislocation), these sonographic findings were not apparent on clinical examination. One hemorrhage of the anterior chamber was missed on sonography. Both sonography and clinical examination failed to visualize one retinal detachment. The results of this study show that real-time sonography is valuable in the assessment of ocular trauma and supplements clinical examination with valuable information.

D007906 Lens Subluxation Incomplete rupture of the zonule with the displaced lens remaining behind the pupil. In dislocation, or complete rupture, the lens is displaced forward into the anterior chamber or backward into the vitreous body. When congenital, this condition is known as ECTOPIA LENTIS.

D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
