ABSTRACT

Objective. To evaluate characteristics of peripheral retinal degenerations diagnosed by UBM (Ultrasound biomicroscopy) in patients that will undergo cataract extraction surgery. Methods. A prospective descriptive survey was performed, with the UBM performed on patients that will undergo cataract extraction surgery from the ophthalmology service of the Centro de Investigación y Docencia en Ciencias de la Salud (CIDOCS). Data was summarized with frequencies and percentages of peripheral retinal degenerations. Results. Information was collected from 90 eyes, with a total of 68.8% women (31) and 31.2% men (14), of which 65.55% (59) presented at least 1 type of cyst observable in at least one location by UBM, out of them, 28.81% (17) presented in 1 location, 54.23% (32) in 2 locations, 10.16% (6) in 3 locations, and 6.77% (4) in 4 locations. Of the total localized lesions (115), 53.04% (61) were flat cysts, 26.95% (31) were bullous cysts, and 20% (23) were cluster cysts. Conclusion. A higher percentage of these alterations than previ-ously reported was observed, up to 65.55%, compared to previous studies. The study of these pathologies is important, because the literature does not report frequency, incidence and associations of these pathologies through this particular study.
