摘要:

6 patients with persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) were operated on using microsurgical techniques. There were 5 boys and 1 girl, all with normal birth weight and good general health. PHPV was present in the left eye in 4 patients, in the right eye in 1, and 1 patient had bilateral PHPV. The operative management consisted of a primary large-sector iridectomy (in 4 cases) and suction of the lens, combined with removal of the hyperplastic vitreous using a Klöti Vitreous Stripper in 5 patients, and small anterior chamber scissors in 1 patient. No major operative complications were experienced. The fundus was fully visible in 5 cases while in 1 eye remaining and new proliferations prevented visualization of the fundus. Postoperative visual acuity varied from light perception to 0.2 and the intraocular pressure was within normal limits. It was felt that a useful reserve eye was obtained, with marked improvement of the ocular cosmesis.

摘要:

Referring to the most recent neurobiological and clinical research into the causes of degenerative myopia, we put forward an original aetiopathogenetic hypothesis for this disease.

摘要:

Rhesus monkeys experimentally infected with Borna disease virus exhibit multifocal inflammatory lesions in the peripapillary pigment epithelium of the retina. Apart from the mild intermediate uveal inflammation, the retinal pigment epithelium of the posterior pole suffers the initial damage. Progressive multifocal perivascular choroiditis indicates ongoing immunological events.

摘要:

A case of Waldenström macroglobulinaemia with eye involvement is described, with emphasis being given to the histopathology of unusual lesions of sclera, choroid and extraocular tissues due to infiltration by neoplastic cells, in the absence of a leukaemic blood picture.

摘要:

Generally, the vertical vergence response is smaller than the disparity that evokes it, even within the diplopia threshold. However, subjective and objective fixation disparity values obtained with Ogle’s device agreed fairly well. The reference lines in themselves appeared to be a stimulus to align the eyes. This finding limits the value of the subjective fixation disparity method when studying the vertical fusional response. Vertical fixation disparity is dependent on time of exposure. Responses of increasing amplitude take longer to reach full amplitude from the position of rest than in the reverse direction.

摘要:

After discussing cases reported in the literature, the authors describe the rare presentation of superficial, annular, corneal dystrophy in a patient with ichthyosis associated with microcephaly and borderline subnormality, and they suggest a possible mechanism for its pathogenesis.

摘要:

A 61-year-old man presented with uniocular gradually progressive visual loss, pain in the eye, visual acuity of 6/60, markedly constricted visual fields, optic disc edema, retinal pigment epithelial disturbance at the posterior pole, and markedly delayed filling of the choroid on angiography, with a normal fellow eye. He had suffered from recurrent seizures for 15 years, with some evidence of cortical demyelination. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was elevated. About 5 months after the onset of visual disturbance, evidence of bronchial carcinoma became apparent and he died 6 weeks later. The etiology of his ocular lesions was established only by histopathological evidence of metastases into the optic nerve head and the choroid. Diagnostic problems presented by the ocular findings are discussed.
