摘要：

PURPOSE: To report the diagnosis of pars planitis on the basis of ultrasound biomicroscopy images. METHODS: The Humphrey ultrasound biomicroscope was used for examination of the right eye of a 17-year-old boy, referred to our clinic because of blurred vision, The lens showed a posterior subcapsular cataract precluding fundus visualization. RESULTS: Ultrasound biomicroscopy showed a homogeneous mass of medium reflectivity over the pars plana, Lensectomy and vitrectomy confirmed the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: This brief case report points out the utility of ultrasound biomicroscopy in diagnosing pars planitis in cases of media opacities.
