Pseudomonas aeruginosa scleritis.

In two patients Pseudomonas aeruginosa scleral infection led to ocular perforation. In one patient, a scleral abscess was identified anteriorly. A scleral perforation occurred at a more posterior focus, but the eye was salvaged with minimal residual visual function. In the other patient, perforation at the corneoscleral limbus occurred after initial corneal improvement with antibiotic therapy; histopathologic examination of the enucleated globe disclosed an abscess extending from the corneoscleral limbus to the equator superiorly.

Cryptophthalmos syndrome with bilateral renal agenesis.

We conducted a postmortem study of an infant with the abortive form of the cryptophthalmos syndrome. He had syndactyly and anal atresia and also showed features of Potter's (renal nonfunction) syndrome, including bilateral renal agenesis, pulmonary hypoplasia, and the typical facies. Histopathologic examination of both globes disclosed that the superior eyelid folds were partially replaced by skin that fused with the superior third of each cornea; there were also anomalies of the superior canaliculi and scarring of the corneas. We found no specific abnormality of the intraocular contents.

Eccrine sweat gland carcinoma of the eyelid with orbital involvement.

A 70-year-old man had a sweat gland carcinoma in his right upper eyelid that was slowly growing, but it clinically remained confined to the lid tissues for a period of 25 years. The tumor ultimately extended deeper into the orbit and invaded the sclera, the optic nerve sheath, and the ethmoidal sinuses. Histopathologic examination disclosed malignant features with a variety of cellular patterns. The results of electron microscopic studies confirmed the origin of the tumor from the eccrine sweat glands.
