Ocular ultrasound is an excellent tool for diagnosing and monitoring pediatric patients, delivering a reliable assessment and clear visualization of ocular anatomy. It can provide information about ocular irrigation and, consequently, the alterations in ocular pathology that would otherwise be difficult to assess. It is essential that radiologists possess a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the eye and understand the different changes associated with various eye diseases. Familiarity with the protocol of these images is crucial for effectively detecting and diagnosing these pathologies. Nevertheless, it's important to recognize ocular ultrasound's limits, especially in extraocular malignancies and orbital pathologies, which may be more appropriately evaluated using alternative imaging techniques. With this in mind, this exhibit aims to teach about pediatric ocular pathologies and how they can be identified using ultrasound. In addition, through imaging cases, recognize the characteristic ultrasound findings for each pathology: - Retinal detachment - Congenital cataracts - Proliferative Vascular Retinopathy of Prematurity - Retinoblastoma - Choroidal hemangioma - Papilledema Read More
