Item Practical aspects of ophthalmic ultrasound in Ibadan(1995-08) Marinho, A. O.; Baiyeroju-Agbeja, A. M.; Fatukusi, J. I.; Kalejaye, O.; Sogo, K.Objective: To highlight the clinical usefulness and the practical aspects of ophthalmic ultrasonography, Materials and Methods: We have described the practical aspects of ophthalmic ultrasonography and reviewed the results of over 200 ophthalmic ultrasounds in our hands. Result: Using ultrasonography, the normal eye is globular and measure 18-24mm in anterior posterior view. The vitreous chamber is c1ear of reflection. Various intraocular lesions like cataracts, debris, vitreous haemorrhage, retinal detachment, panophthalmitis and foreign bodies as well as retro-ocular masses were diagnosable using ophthalmic ultrasonography, Conclusion: Ophthalmic ultrasonography is recommended as all adjunct to the diagnosis of eye diseases as it is painless. in-expensive and gives accurate results.Item Diagnosis of ocular disease in Ibadan by ultrasound(1995-12) Baiyeroju-Agbeja, A. M.; Marinho, A. O.15 patients with ocular disease, in whom views of posterior segment of the eyes could not be obtained underwent ultrasonography of the eyes to aid in the diagnosis and further management of the patients. In some cases the ultrasound was then compared with the histological diagnosis when the eye was removed and in other cases to the ophthalmoscopic examination when a better view of the posterior segment could be obtained. This was done as a pilot study to ascertain the level of accuracy of our ultrasonic diagnosis and how much it could be depended upon for the very important decision of removal of the eye when indicated.
