Glitter sign

PLVLA,2D usg

Glitter in ultrasound refers to the dynamic shimmering or sparkling appearance of numerous tiny echogenic (bright) particles within a fluid-filled lesion during real-time sonography. This phenomenon occurs when the particles move in response to gentle transducer pressure or changes in the patient's position.

These particles may consist of:

  • Red blood cells
  • Fibrin strands
  • Clot fragments
  • Proteinaceous or cellular debris

The shimmering appearance results from the changing reflection of ultrasound waves as these suspended particles move within the fluid.

Ultrasound Features: Glitter is the real-time sonographic appearance of mobile, highly reflective intracystic particulate matter that produces a transient sparkling or shimmering effect during ultrasound examination. This dynamic phenomenon is best appreciated when gentle transducer pressure or changes in patient position cause the intracystic particles to move, creating a characteristic glittering appearance.

a-Hemorrhagic cyst

US Report line
A round/oval, well-defined cystic lesion with low-level mobile internal echoes demonstrates a dynamic glitter sign (shimmering echogenic particulate matter) on real-time ultrasound. Posterior acoustic enhancement is present. No mural nodule or internal vascularity is seen on color Doppler. Findings are consistent with a benign hemorrhagic breast cyst (BI-RADS 2).
