Introduction: The study of the posterior segment of the eye has nowadays become one of the most frequent indications for diagnostic ultrasound in the ophthalmological field. The objective of this work is to contribute to the improvement of the diagnostic management of pathologies of the posterior segment of the eye in the radiology department of the medical clinic “Marie Curie” in Bamako. Material and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the medical imaging department from January 2020 to January 2022. It concerned all patients who presented for the study of the ocular posterior segment on ultrasound. Results: Fifty-two (52) patients out of a total of 109 were included in the study, i.e. a frequency of 47.70%. The average age was 33.90 with the extremes ranging from 05 years to 75 years. The male sex dominated with a frequency of 69.23%. Ocular ultrasound was prescribed mainly by ophthalmologists (100%). In the study of the posterior segment, preoperative assessment represented the most frequent indications with respectively 55.76% and 23.10%. Retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage were the most found lesions on ultrasound with 50% and 34.61% respectively. Conclusion: Ocular ultrasound is accessible in Bamako and has allowed the study of the posterior segment of the eye. It occupies an important place in the study and management of ocular pathologies of the posterior segment.
