[Variability of iris fluorescence angiograms].

Fluorescein angiography of the iris vascular system is more difficult in heavily pigmented irides of the coloured races; in light skinned patients it is easy to perform and even more details are demonstrated in patients with atrophies of the mesodermal iris structure. In congenital albinism very fine vascular structures are demonstrated in younger patients; a similar picture is seen in pupillotonia if there is atrophy of the iris stroma. In senile iris atrophies, Adie's syndrome and congenital albinism the iris vascular structure is basically normal, but atrophy of the iris stroma may lead to increased fluorescein permeability in the elderly.

[Iris angiography and endothelium microscopy in dysgenesis mesodermalis iridis et corneae].

Three patients with endothelialization of the anterior chamber - 2 with Chandler's syndrome and 1 with Cogan-Reese syndrome - were followed up by means of iris angiography and specular microscopy over a period of several years. The endothelial angiographic changes occurred simultaneously in all cases; the more pronounced the endothelial changes, the more severe the iris changes. Since iris stroma and corneal endothelium develop from a common mesenchymal origin, and the extent of the changes they undergo is similar in the course of the diseases in question, a close relationship between Rieger's mesodermal dysgenesis, Chandler's syndrome and Cogan-Reese syndrome is postulated.

[Clinical course in Bietti crystalline tapetoretinal degeneration].

The course of Bietti's crystalline retinopathy, which has an autosomal-recessive mode of inheritance, is described with reference to three families. Initially, crystals appear in the inner and middle layers of the retina; in the third decade of life atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and of the choroid sets in. Secondary degeneration of the center of the retina results in the disappearance of the crystals in the degenerated areas.

[Circular neovascularization of the circulus arteriosus iridis minor].

Vessel duplications of the anastomosis of the cirulus arteriosus iridis minor were observed in 15 patients with diabetes mellitus and in four patients with retinal venous occlusion, in a total of 1192 iris angiograms made. In each of these cases there is a bilateral neo-vascularization that may be regarded as an indication of a general vascular disease. It could be a fairly unaggressive process of new vessel formation in the iris which, during four years of observation, has in none of the cases observed developed into a rubeosis iridis visible under the slit lamp.

[Abnormalities in the vessels of the iris as seen in fluorescein angiography (author's transl)].

There are unusually thick serpentine vessels in the iris along which there are no leaks in the fluorescein angiogram. Five and a half to seven years ago this was considered to be a sign of normal iris vessels in our department. It was assumed that this was only an abnormality. In four instances we have been able to find this irregularity, without any changes, in the vessels in the iris where it was a question of shunt vessels. In three of these four instances other diseases of the eyes were also present.

[Endemic eye diseases in Samoa, 1910-1913].

In the years 1910/13 two endemic infections of the conjunctiva were found in Samoa in addition to ocular manifestations of filiariosis. One of these infections was obviously trachoma, the other an acute micrococcus catarrhalis conjunctivitis by diplococcus samoensis.

[Psychogenic blindness caused by a command to kill].

Corporal H.M. was detailed to shoot Jews as a member of a firing squad in 1941 during the German advance in White Russia. First at all, a shooting practice was to take place on the subsequent day. He became blind in his right eye overnight and as a right-handed marksman was no longer able to shoot properly. He was transferred to the front, where he was wounded. He spent 18 months in military and civil hospitals and a sanatorium until he was discharged from the army in the middle of the war because of his weak vision and "autonomic vasomotor neurosis". His psychogenic amblyopia lasted 52 years until he was afflicted with amaurotic blindness in his left eye owing to an attack of glaucoma which had not been treated in time. The vision of his right eye increased again for the first time to 0.1 (10%), but remained reduced owing to a brunescent cataract.
