AIM: To evaluate the value of color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of traumatic retinal detachment.

METHODS:All 50 cases(56 eyes)of suspicious traumatic retinal detachment from January to June in 2013 were enrolled in this study. All first received the two-dimensional ultrasound, then the color Doppler ultrasound, finally, these results were compared with the results of surgery.

RESULTS:All 56 eyes were observed intravitreal abnormal spots by the two-dimensional ultrasound, and 39 eyes were observed color blood signal by the color Doppler ultrasound. Forty eyes were approved retinal detachment by surgery.

CONCLUSION: It is better to display the intravitreal abnormal spots and color blood signal by the color Doppler ultrasound than by the two-dimensional ultrasound, so there is important clinical significance of the color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of traumatic retinal detachment.
