[Tumorous form of acute myeloid leukemia (author's transl)].

The author describes a rare tumorous form of acute myeloid leukemia in a boy aged 4 and a half years. It appeared as unobtrusive swelling of the left upper lid and led to the diagnosis of leukemia. After the beginning of cytostatic therapy the swelling disappeared. In the preterminal state an excessive protrusio of the left globe occured which made the closure of the lid impossible. The right eye was never involved.

Therapy of blow-out fractures.

The number of patients with fractures of the bony orbit has recently increased because of increasing accidents, expecially car accidents. Due to the good cooperation of maxillofacial surgeons and ophthalmoligists the latter are asked for consultation in the first days after the accident. Therefore the possibility exists to diagnose rather often a blow-out fracture even without X-ray examination. The methods of primary and secondary management are enumerated.

[Muscular neurotisation in traumatic abducens paresis (A new method of operative treatment) (author's transl)].

Traumatic abducens pareses occur quite often. The methods of operation known until now often achieved no good functional result. Therefore the authors experimentally tried to reinnervate by means of "musculr neurotisation" in 10 rabbits an extraocular muscle previously denervated. After 6 months the histological examination revealed the presence of newly germinated medullated nerve fibers and motor end plates. This was the proof that eye muscles may be reinnervated. Consequently in 5 patients with traumatic abducens paresis an implantation of the inferior oblique muscle was done. The functional improvement secured by this method of operation which for the first time has been applied on the human eye was good, in some cases even extremely good, depending on the time elapsed between lesion and operation.
