Özet
Bilateral kronik üveit ve psödofaki tanısı ile takip ettiğimiz bir olguda gelişen kronik oküler hipotoni tablosunda etiyolojiye yönelik klinik yaklaşımımızı sunarak, diğer klinik incelemelerle nedeni tam olarak aydınlatılamayan oküler hipotoni olgularında ultrason biyomikroskopi incelemesinin tanısal değerinin vurgulanması amaçlandı.
