  • Weiss Ring

    Apr 29 2025 by Gustavo Uriel Fonseca Aguirre

    This B-mode axial ultrasound scan demonstrates the Weiss ring, visualized as a circular hyperechoic structure in the vitreous cavity, representing the detached posterior vitreous face with the optic disc insertion site. The ring shows mild mobility on dynamic assessment without retinal traction.

  • Vitreous Waltz vs Retinal Rigidity

    Apr 18 2025 by Gustavo Uriel Fonseca Aguirre

    B-mode dynamic ultrasound of an eye with vitreous hemorrhage shows hyaloid traction inducing retinal detachment in diabetic retinopathy. The video clearly delineates all anatomical compartments: vitreous, subhyaloid, and subretinal spaces. Characteristic movement patterns are observed - the vitreous demonstrates smooth, wide excursions while the detached retina shows shorter, stiffer motions -confirming tractional pathology.

  • Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy

    Apr 17 2025 by Gustavo Uriel Fonseca Aguirre

    This B-mode transverse ultrasound scan depicts a post-vitrectomy eye with recurrent retinal detachment in a patient with diabetic retinopathy history.

  • Advanced Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

    Apr 9 2025 by Gustavo Uriel Fonseca Aguirre

    B-mode ultrasound of a patient with long-standing poorly controlled diabetes demonstrates characteristic findings of advanced proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The examination reveals moderate vitreous hemorrhage appearing as diffuse hyperechoic opacities throughout the vitreous cavity, along with a posterior hyaloid membrane densely infiltrated by hemorrhagic material, showing irregular thickening and increased reflectivity. A mild subhyaloid hemorrhage is visible as a subtle hyphema-like space anterior to the retinal surface. The study documents a total tractional retinal detachment, evidenced by rigid retinal folds with clear insertion points of vitreous strands, accompanied by a significant subretinal hemorrhage seen as a prominent hyperechoic collection beneath the elevated retina. These findings collectively illustrate the severe vitreoretinal interface pathology characteristic of end-stage diabetic eye disease, with predominant tractional components and distinct echographic stratification of hemorrhagic layers - from anterior vitreous involvement to deeper subretinal blood accumulation.

  • Endophthalmitis

    Apr 9 2025 by Gustavo Uriel Fonseca Aguirre

    B-mode ultrasound video of a vitrectomized eye reveals characteristic vitreous cavity membranes secondary to endophthalmitis. The real-time imaging demonstrates these inflammatory membranes exhibit semi-rigid dynamics, displaying viscoelastic behavior with limited displacement during ocular movements while maintaining structural integrity. This restricted mobility pattern, showing both resistance to kinetic forces and slow recoil, represents a pathognomonic feature of advanced fibrotic organization in endophthalmitis.
