【 摘 要 】

Purpose: to study the relationship between the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of post-traumatic eyelid scarring at different stages of the post-traumatic period.Materials and methods. 15 patients aged 13 to 61 (ave. 36.5 ± 12.2 years) with post-traumatic eyelid scarring were examined for the clinical characteristics of the scar by the Manchester scar scale and subjected to ultrasound gray-scale B-scan of tissues in the “Small Part” mode and echodensitometry.Results. The above measurements of patients who suffered trauma 2–3 months before the study totaled 3–4 points on the Manchester scale, while the acoustic density of scars varied from 21 to 43 conv. units (ave. 30.5 ± 5.9 conv. units). The patients whose eyelid trauma occurred 5–6 months before the study, totaled 4–5 points; and the average scar acoustic density ranged from 30 to 65 conv. units (ave. 43.5 ± 9.8 conv. units). 10–12 months after the trauma, the clinical signs of patients received 5 points whilst a comprehensive ultrasound examination yielded the acoustic density of scars varying from 43 to 84 conv. units (ave. 54.4 ± 17.6 conv. units).Сonclusion. The study revealed a direct relationship between the changes in the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of the eyelid scar tissue at different post-traumatic period stages. As the post-traumatic period continued, the scar density, its echogenicity and the displacement of the surrounding eyelid tissues was found to increase.
