Abstract

Purpose: To report the utilization of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in identifying the extension into the posterior segment of an epithelial membrane, as correlated by the histopathologic findings. Method: Case report. UBM findings before enucleation with histopathologic correlation. RESULTS: UBM demonstrated a membrane tracking from the posterior iris surface over the ciliary body and towards the retina. Light microscopic examination disclosed the epithelial nature of this membrane. Conclusion: UBM can identify extension of an epithelial membrane into the posterior segment and thereby guide the approach to surgical management.
