Visualization of posterior lens capsule integrity by 20-MHz ultrasound probe in ocular trauma.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the use of the 20-MHz ultrasound probe in facilitating visualization of the posterior lens capsule in ocular trauma.

DESIGN: Interventional case report.

METHODS: Serial examinations using 10-MHz, 20-MHz, and 50-MHz ultrasound technologies were performed on the anterior segment of the right eye of an 18-year-old man referred with a diagnosis of globe penetration and secondary traumatic cataract.

RESULTS: Cross-sectional echograms of the anterior segment using the 20-MHz ultrasound showed posterior lens capsule integrity.

CONCLUSION: When verifying the status of the posterior lens capsule in cases of ocular trauma, the 20-MHz ultrasound probe is a useful and novel approach.
