摘要:

Prior to operating on an injury of the lacrimal canaliculus it is necessary to apply a silicon tube or a filament into the lacrimal canal. Different techniques of retrograde probing are discussed. The paper presents a new instrument for inserting a silicon tube into the canaliculi. The aim of the new technique is to minimize the damage of pericanalicular muscles.

摘要:

A 53-year-old man with scleroderma, pulmonary fibrosis, cardiac decompensation and secondary polycythaemia, but no arterial hypertension, developed central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in the left eye. 1.5 years later, during the treatment with systemic steroids and anticoagulants, he developed CRVO in the right eye, and a further half year later, secondary glaucoma in the left eye and loss of the visual acuity to counting fingers at 2.5 m in the right eye and at 0.5 m in the left. Retinal vascular changes, pulmonary and cardiac insufficiency and secondary polycythhaemia, symptoms of scleroderma, most probably contributed to the development of bilateral CRVO.

摘要:

3 cases of acute optic neuropathy in juvenile diabetics are reported. The neuropathy included initially optic disc edema (ODE), usually with prominent, dilated and frequently telangiectatic vessels over the disc, and later, generally, development of optic disc-related visual field defects. On resolution of the neuropathy, the disc was normal in all eyes except for a mild pallor in one, and the visual acuity and fields recovered to normal. 2 of the patients also had early diabetic retinopathy. The nature of the optic neuropathy is discussed. We feel the available evidence indicates that the condition most likely represents a mild or subclinical anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) despite the youth of the patient. It is pertinent to note that AION can vary widely not only in severity (from sub-clinical to severe) but also in age distribution (from juvenile to elderly), and the subject is discussed. The clinical significance of early detection of this optic neuropathy, and the dangers of confusing it with proliferative diabetic retinopathy or ODE due to other causes, are stressed.

摘要:

3 patients (5 eyes) with posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) are presented. PION is a distinct clinical entity, caused by ischemia of the posterior part of the optic nerve. These eyes presented with a visual acuity varying from normal to no light perception, optic nerve-related visual field defects, and no fundus abnormality (on ophthalmoscopy or fluorescein fundus angiography) at the onset of the disease and for about a month thereafter, but after about 5–6 weeks the optic disc developed atrophic changes. The pathogenesis, differential diagnosis and possible management of PION are discussed.

摘要:

A 61-year-old Japanese man was treated for eosinophilic granuloma of the soft tissue in the orbit. The clinical characteristics were typical for eosinophilic granuloma of the soft tissue: 8% eosinophilis, very soft tumor masses in both orbits, multifocal lesions including the salivary glands, good response to steroid hormone, and hypergammaglobulinemia. The ocular signs were exophthalmos and lid swelling. Light microscopy showed many lymphoid follicles with many eosinophils, also in other parts of the body. The previously reported cases of orbital lesion are reviewed. Patients with orbital eosinophilic granuloma of the soft tissue are apt to be 30–50 years of age, older than patients without ocular lesions.

摘要:

50 Greek patients with primary open-angle glaucoma were tissue-typed for a total of 29 HLA antigens (groups A and B). The results were compared with those of 200 control persons. A statistically significant difference at the level of p < 0.05 was noted only with regard to the A2 antigen. These findings are in accordance with those of other authors who found no correlation between glaucoma simplex and the frequency of HLA antigens.
