Macroscopic ocular pathology: an atlas including correlations with standardized echography

This is a unique atlas presenting macroscopic ocular pathology with correlated ocular ultrasound. Its objective is not to cover every known pathological condition, but to include illustrations which may contribute to the understanding of clinical findings. Moreover, clinicians, practitioners, students and residents may need the macroscopic image of a diseased organ in order to correlate the technical findings of ultrasound, CT scanning, or scintigraphy with clinical conditions. The chapters deal with the various ocular structures in sequence and address mainly malformations, inflammatory reactions, degenerative lesions and secondary tissue reactions, glaucoma, ocular trauma (both accidental and surgical), tumors, and so-called pseudotumors. Since intraocular microsurgery has become routine over the past decade, vitreo-retinal reactions have attracted more interest and are hence documented in greater detail. This atlas will provide a supplement to existing texts and will stimulate clinical and diagnostic progress.
