[Acute retinopathy of prematurity following oxygen therapy: current concepts (author's transl)].

Five cases of retinopathy of prematurity have been observed among 1,750 premature infants at the Florence Geller Center in Cochin-Port-Royal--C.H.U. over a period of four years. In all cases, arterial PaO2 was more than 100 mmHg at least once. In the two worst cases, oxygen therapy given only during the first had been hours of life. The authors insist on the dangers of oxygen overdose immediately after birth or during transport to a Premature Infants Center. Laser photocoagulation was employed in four eyes: 2 with regression, 1 with cicatrisation, 1 with fibroplasia. Retinopathy of prematurity remains a danger in France, even if it is not as frequent as in the U.S.A. or Japan. Indirect ophthalmoscopy is essential for diagnosis and fluorography very useful to determine prognosis and treatment.

[Multifocal vitelliform dystrophy : a case report (author's transl)].

A case of multiple vitelliform dystrophy is described in an adult white woman ; vision, angiography, EOG are the same as in true Best's disease, but the reduction of vision seams more severe and occurs earlier. The extramacular discs are smaller, faster in evolution, they can appear, disappear or coalesce as in our case. The disease is genetically much less demonstrative than central vitelliform dystrophy. Angiographically, besides the usual pattern, they shaw marked staining without evidence of subretinal neovascularization perhaps due to a slight alteration of a still living RPE, and a hollow aspect of the discs at the level of RPE on stereo-angiograms. This is to be compared with the pathological findings made by Gass who described a marked thinning of the RPE.
