[Chorioretinal coloboma and neovascular membrane].

Retinochoroidal coloboma results from an incomplete closure of the ocular embryonic fissure. Uni or bilateral, the coloboma can be associated with cataract, microphthalmia, retinal detachment... but rarely with neovascularization. This association is comparable with subretinal neovascularization in high myopia, angioid streaks, choroiditis and choroidal ruptures. The disruption of the normal anatomy of the Bruch's membrane is a possible entry site of choroidal blood vessels. But the reason why only rare cases are reported is unknown.

[Pyocyanic corneal abscess].

The authors report 3 different cases of pseudomonas abscess of the corneal layers: these occurred; one on a soft lens; the second one apparently without any reason; the last one 2 days after a corneal traumatism. In spite of rapidly administrated antibiotherapy, the abscess spread very rapidly and left a residual corneal macula.
