Ultrasound biomicroscopic analysis of XXXX .

@entity1 @entity726 @entity1539
PURPOSE: To describe the ultrasound biomicroscopic (UBM) features and complications associated with @entity1539 . DESIGN: A retrospective case series. METHODS: Thirteen @entity1 with @entity1539 were identified in a 10 year period study at a ophthalmologic reference Center in Mexico City. The variables included demographic data, ocular and medical history, clinical course, and complications. All @entity1 were examined by UBM, and type, number, location, and acoustic characteristics of cysts were evaluated. Descriptive statistics were performed. RESULTS: Thirteen @entity1 were included (8 @entity1 and 5 @entity1 ). The mean age was 44.5  15.5 years (range 6-70 years). The origin most prevalent was neuroepithelial (92.3%), and 7.7% had stromal cysts. Regarding to location 76.9% were found in the periphery, and 69.2% between meridians II and VI. All cysts showed a moderate to high reflectivity in the wall. Complications were present in 38.5% of cases (15.4% partial angle closure, 15.4% secondary angle closure @entity726 and 7.7% dyscoria). CONCLUSIONS: Most cysts are derived from iris pigmented epithelium, with a benign course and a minor rate of complications. The UBM is an indispensable tool that allows us to plan more specific and conservative treatments, with less damage to ocular structures and, therefore, better visual prognosis.
