    (Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2008-06-01) Villas-bôas, Flávia; Allemann, Norma [UNIFESP]; Morales, Maira Saad Avila; Omi, Carlos Akira [UNIFESP]; Instituto Brasileiro de Oftalmologia e Prevenção à Cegueira; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP)
    Case report of a woman with the diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma who was submitted to a successful surgical procedure of deep sclerectomy in the right eye. In the postoperative period, at month 3, the surgical procedure was evaluated with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) utilizing two distinct equipments (UBM 840-Zeiss; UBM-VUMAX-Sonomed), with 50-MHz transducers. The diagnostic method of ultrasound biomicroscopy can be utilized as a non invasive method to evaluate the internal architecture of the eye at the topography of deep sclerectomy. It allows to identify the anterior segment structures, their anatomical relationship, and also the intact trabecular-Descemet membrane and the intrascleral space. Ultrasound biomicroscopy showed to be useful in evaluating postoperative status of the surgical procedure.
