Changes of the periphery of retina and adjoining vitreous body revealed by UBM-investigation associated with different peripheral retinal degeneration

Abstract

Purpose: UBM-investigation of the periphery of retina and adjoining vitreous body with different peripheral retinal degeneration.Methods: Forty-seven eyes of 37 patients were studied by biomicroscopy with free-miror lens. In the first group (28 eyes) were included patients with different peripheral retinal degeneration, the second group (19 eyes) — without changes of the peripheral retina and adjoining vitreous body. UBM-investigation of the periphery of retina and vitreous adjoining body was carried out device of com- pany «Sonоmed» (USA) with frequency of sound — 50 mHz and resolving capacity 50 mc.Results: Retinoschisis of the different studies was revealed in 86% сases with peripheral retinal degeneration and in 42% without it. In 22 eyes (78.6%) were observed the changes of adjoining vitreous body to peripheral retina in the form of whitish packing, that was considered as initial vitreoretinopathy.Conclusion: Peripheral retinosсhisis different intensity was determed by ultrasound biomicroscopy in 86% сases with peripheral retinal degeneration and in 42% without it. Peripheral retinosсhisis was attended changes of adjoining vitreous body in the form, that was considered as initial vitreoretinopathy.
