Why Are B-Scans in Some Blind Eyes with Large Intraocular Masses Misinterpreted?

Abstract

B-scan ultrasounds on 3 patients whose eyes were filled with cellular masses (two uveal melanomas and one reactive fibrous granulomatous proliferation) performed by 4 experienced retinal specialists were misinterpretated as containing no tumor mass. A possible explanation for this potentially avoidable oversight is offered.
