摘要:

Between 1971 and 1982 33 corneae were excised for therapeutic keratoplasty because of ulcerative herpetic keratitis. The histologic findings and the clinical course enabled distinction of a nonreactive form with a rather good prognosis for keratoplasty (62% clear grafts) and an inflammatory form with bad prognosis (20% clear grafts) because of many herpetic recurrences. Perforating keratoplasty and first interventions in particular did better than lamellar keratoplasty or retransplantation. Existence of preoperative corneal vascularization compromised the prognosis of the graft. Preoperative perforation of the ulcer occurred rather often in nonvascularized corneae without compromising the prognosis of the graft.

摘要:

The endothelial cell density of 44 eyes after an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma is statistically lower than the cellular density of 174 control eyes. The decrease in endothelial cell density increases the risk of edematous corneal dystrophy, more specially after surgery (e.g. cataract extraction). The modifications in corneal endothelial cell density are compared with the alterations of the iris after a crisis of angle-closure glaucoma.

摘要:

In a double-blind masked study with 100 young and healthy subjects we compared the influence of the β-blocking agents timolol and metipranol on breakup time and their tolerance. While metipranolol provoked a slight burning sensation, timolol was well tolerated. Both β-blockers, however, led to an equally enormous reduction in BUT in short-term observation

摘要:

25 patients with 29 histologically confirmed periocular basal cell epitheliomas were treated by topical application of Solcoderm, a solution of organic and inorganic acids and ions. The cure rate of the 29 lesions, which were followed for a mean period of 32 months, was 80%. The overall cure rate following second Solcoderm treatment of the 6 recurrent lesions was 96.7%. The cosmetic and functional results were excellent and there were no serious complications and side effects.

摘要:

17 cases of eyes affected jointly by diseases of the posterior pole (central serous chorioretinopathy, serous detachment of pigmented epithelium, melanoma, osteoma, hemangioma) and flow-like atrophy of the pigmented epithelium, originating from the lesion and always directed downwards, are presented. It is likely that serous detachment of the neuroepithelium constituting the original wound (central serous chorioretinopathy) or the secondary one (serous detachment of the pigmented epithelium) of the posterior pole prolongs itself downwards, leaving a localized atrophy as a mark on the pigmented epithelium. The eventual draining role of serous detachment of the neuroepithehum by this ‘flow’ is disputed.

摘要:

A case of unilateral central vein occlusion occurring in a normotensive patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is reported. This vasculitis is related to SLE. In spite of the observation of circulating immune complex and a positive response to the human basophil degranulation test in the presence of bovine soluble retinal antigen, the real pathogenesis of this unilateral vasculitis remains obscure.

摘要:

The clinical and pathologic findings of a patient with an unusual cavitary melanocytoma of the ciliary body are presented. Clinically and with ultrasonography the lesion appeared to have a cystic component. Differential diagnoses included a malignant melanoma or a cyst, and the lesion was excised by iridocyclectomy.

摘要:

A case of retinitis pigmentosa associated with astrocytic hamartomas of the optic disc is described. The rarity of tuberous sclerosis in this association is discussed, as well as differences between optic nerve head drusen and astrocytic hamartomas (‘giant drusen’) which can both be associated with retinitis pigmentosa.

摘要:

Rabbits with an iron foreign body in the orbit were given transconjunctival injections of desferrioxamine every 4th day. It was found that after 12 months the level of iron in the aqueous of their eyes was distinctly lower than in another group, which received no medication. Under the conditions of the experiment, desferrioxamine distinctly prevented extrabulbar iron from penetrating into the eyeball.

摘要:

Cancer deaths among close relatives of 19 patients with bilateral retinoblastoma were reviewed. Altogether 18 deaths of nonocular cancer were found in 5 families. These constitute 5% of the entire material of 365 relatives. The main types of cancer were stomach (6 cases), bronchial (3 cases), urinary bladder carcinoma (2 cases), as well as 2 cases of reticulosarcoma and 1 of leukemia. The retinoblastoma gene may also be associated with higher incidence of cancer in families of retinoblastoma patients.
