[Ultrasonographic visualization of ciliary pars plana cysts].

On a basis of detailed analysis of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) scanograms of 617 patients (823 eyes) ciliary pars plana cysts were found in 8.9% (55 patients, 66 eyes). The main types of ciliary pars plana cyst were revealed: solitary isolated and multiple (isolated and confluent). The results of the study confirmed topographic and morphologic correlation of ciliary pars plana cysts and peripheral retinoschisis. Authors demonstrated the value of UBM for visualization not ciliary pars plana cysts only but oral and peripheral retinal degenerative changes as well, that can lead to retinoschisis and retinal detachment.
