[Intolerance to encircling. 19 cases of section or ablation of encircling].

Removal of ten encircling scleral buckles and section with relaxation of nine encircling buckles are displayed. Only episcleral buckles with oval or round silicone sponge exoplants are analyzed. Besides infection (three eyes), removal or section was required because of too tight encircling elements (16 eyes). Anterior buckles created by invagination of encircling elements, without horizontal shortening avoids this risk of constriction.

[Non-traumatic retinal detachment in children under 15 years of age].

In less than fifteen years old children, thirty nine non traumatic retinal detachments are reported. Their poor prognosis is attributed to the late diagnosis, the early age occurrence, the combination with an ocular pathology (congenital aphakia--myopia--hereditary vitreoretinal degeneration) present on the first examination. Prophylaxis of the fellow eye is recommended in order to avoid the alarming occurrence of bilateral detachment.
