CLINICAL AND ULTRASONOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF POST TRAUMATIC OCULAR SUBATROPHY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS FOR REHABILITATION PLANNING
Keywords:
children, adolescents, ocular trauma, post-traumatic ocular subatrophy, ultrasonography, ultrasound biometry, eyeball, ocular prosthesis, rehabilitationAbstract
This article discusses the role of comprehensive clinical and ultrasonographic assessment in children and adolescents with post-traumatic ocular subatrophy when determining indications for globe-preserving rehabilitation or surgical preparation for ocular prosthetic rehabilitation. Particular attention is given to serial ultrasound biometry as a method for assessing progression of the atrophic process.References
