Descrição: The role of clinical ultrasound or Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in patients with urgent pathology has expanded exponentially in recent years. With clinical ultrasound, physicians can make a quick assessment and decide how to act in time critical situations. Ocular ultrasound is one of the most recently developed applications. In patients with severe non-traumatic ocular pathology it has numerous clinically relevant uses: retinal detachment, occlusion of the central retinal artery or optic nerve pathologies, among others. The technique is widely available, easy to perform, and can provide information even when fundoscopy is impossible. In this review, we describe the bases of clinical ocular ultrasound, focusing on the management of the main non-traumatic urgent ophthalmological pathologies that the physician may face in their clinical practice.
