摘要:

By means of fundus photographs of metastatic choroidal carcinomate in 20 patients it is shown that the slightly prominent yellowish-grey (rarely more intense whitish-yellow) areas appear to be either lobular, composed of various nodes, or more homogeneous and solitary. Illustrations are presented of mammary carcinomata (14 × ), bronchial carcinomata (3 × ) and uterine carcinomata (3 × ). The bilateral metastases, occurring in 5 cases, appear all over the eye-ground; the left eye was more frequently affected. Scarring from irradiation (or the use of cytostatics) is followed in the region of the tumour either by pure depigmentation, an almost regular patchy or punctate pigmentation, irregular displacement of pigment such as follows a severe choroiditis disseminata, or a dark, almost regular pigmentation. The X-ray radiation of a chorioidal metastasis of a uterine carcinoma led to necrosis of the chorioidea, the pigment epithelium, and the peripheral retina.

摘要:

The standard X-ray preserves its value in verifying the presence of a foreign body (FB). The echography is valuable in verifying the site of a FB when it remains uncertain in respect to the sclera after X-ray localization. Computerized tomography scanning offers useful information about the physical nature of the FB.

摘要:

Some orbital métastases (16 cases in the literature and 2 personal cases) involve a histologically typical enophtalmos with profuse fibrous stroma. They arise after squirrhous carcinoma of the breast or plastic linitis of the stomach.

摘要:

(1) In the presence of a torpid corneal ulcer, resistant to anbibiotics and accompanied by dirty exudates and a hypopion, one must always think of a keratomycosis. (2) A mycotic examination with direct microscopic examination, culture and sensitivity test should immediately be made. (3) At the present time the best antimycotics are miconasol and econasol.

摘要:

A 53-year-old organic chemist developed severe asthma and bronchitis a few weeks after professional exposure to plant dust. 15 days later an acute severe endophthalmitis occurred. Both the systemic and eye conditions were treated with corticosteroids and antibiotics. The atrophic eye which was enucleated 6 months later histologically revealed abscesses in the iris, ciliary body, lens and vitreous harbouring numerous islands of septate, dichotomously branching hyphae, orientated in the same direction and conidiospores, which is considered compatible with an aspergillus species.

摘要:

Not being satisfied with the present-day diagnosis of Leber’s congenital amaurosis, the original papers written by Leber were studied. It gradually became clear that what Leber had in mind with congenital amaurosis is roughly the same as what we know as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. The present diagnosis of Leber’s congenital amaurosis is not a clinical syndrome but an aspecific symptom complex.

摘要:

46 patients with 47 cancers of the eyelids and the canthi, large or very large in their great majority, were treated with local urea injections in combination with thorough curettage. In 7 of the above patients, the caruncle and the conjunctiva were also affected. This treatment was effective in 100% of our cases. The full recovery of the skin which had been destroyed by the cancer, without any remnants of scar or other disfigurement, is a very remarkable phenomenon; the functional condition of the lids remained quite normal as well. So we can affirm that in extensive periophthalmic carcinomas, in which cure with conventional methods is very difficult or almost impossible, as in some reported cases, the afore-mentioned treatment gives the most beneficial results, without any of the disadvantages of these methods.

摘要:

Satisfactory results could be obtained in former animal experiments with keratoprostheses made by 38% hydrated hydrogel plastics (PHEMA). There still existed some doubts concerning alterations by aging of this material, possibly resulting in setting free toxic or allergenic substances as well as raising the risk of infection. Therefore, keratoprostheses containing 38 or 20% water were implanted in rabbit eyes. The follow-up period of 44 animals was 6 months. No essential differences in the postoperative course of both types of keratoprostheses could be observed. With the only exception of a growth of tissue over the optical cylinder in 1 case no serious complications, e.g., extrusion of the implant, occurred. Regarding the greater resistibility of the less hydrated hydrogel, this more durable plastic seems to be the more adapted material for keratoprostheses.
