Abstract
Objective

The aim of this work is to describe the ultrasound features in vasoproliferative tumors of the ocular fundus (VPTOF).

Methods

The medical records corresponding to eight patients were retrospectively studied. Clinical data from the complete ophthalmologic examination and ultrasonographic findings were analyzed.

Results

Nodular masses affecting either the retina or both the retina and the choroid were found. The surface contour of the tumor was regular in 5, and irregular in 3 cases. In terms of dimensions (mm/SD), the average major base was 7.14/2.56; the minor base was 6.74/2.48 and the height was 2.38/1.26. Internal structure was always solid and irregular, and reflectivity was mostly medium–high in 6 eyes. Angle kappa was not present in any case. No vascularity signs were detected.

Conclusion

According to the results it is suggested that when a differential diagnosis of VPTOF is carried out, not only should ophthalmoscopic signs be studied, but an ultrasound examination should also be done.

Resumen
Objetivo

Describir las características ecográficas en los tumores vasoproliferativos del fondo de ojo (TVPFO).

Métodos

Se estudiaron retrospectivamente las historias clínicas correspondientes a 8 pacientes afectados de TVPFO. Se analizaron los datos correspondientes a la exploración oftalmológica completa y a la exploración ecográfica.

Resultados

Se encontraron masas nodulares afectando a la retina o bien a la retina y la coroides. La superficie tumoral era regular en 5 casos e irregular en los 3 restantes. La media de las dimensiones fue (mm/DE): base mayor, 7,14/2,56; base menor, 6,74/2,48 y altura 2,38/1,26. La estructura interna fue siempre sólida e irregular y la reflectividad era media-alta en 6 casos. No se detectó ni ángulo kappa ni vascularidad interna en ningún caso.

Conclusión

De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos se propone que tanto el diagnóstico como el diagnóstico diferencial de los TVPFO deben ser llevados a cabo no solo con la oftalmoscopia sino también con la exploración ecográfica.
