[Fundus changes in scleroderma (author's transl)].

12 patients with scleroderma were submitted to an ophthalmological examination. 9 patients displayed fundus changes. In 7 cases defects of the retinal pigment epithelium near the macula were observed, one of these patients showed an associated serous detachment of the pigment epithelium. In three patients localized retinal vascular changes, especially on the capillary level, were notices. Obviously, alterations of the collagen as well as vasopathological changes being part of the systemic disorder do have their counterpart of the systemic disorder do have their counterpart within the eye.

[Partial closure of the central artery and vein of the retina in retrobulbar optic neuritis (author's transl)].

The changes in the fundus of a 57-year-old patient (perimacular turbid retinal oedema, cloudy peripapillary exsudates and peripheral retinal hemorrhages) could not be interpreted satisfactorly on a clinical basis. Histologic examination revealed a retrobulbar optic neuritis associated with round cell infiltrates around the central retinal blood vessels impeding their blood flow.

[Postchoroidal retinoschisis].

In the past literature only 8 cases of postchoroidal retinoschisis have been described. Their characteristic finding is a cystic protrusion of the inner retinal layers within an area of post-choroiditic scarring. The lesion is unilateral, and usually located in the temporal or upper fundus periphery; no retinal defects are present, the vitreous is intact, and there is no tendency toward progression. The etiology appears to be different according to age: in patients under age 40, alterations of the glia may contribute to the cyst formation, in older patients, however, the combined damage of the choroidal and retinal vascular bed seem to lead to a retinoschisis.

[Malignant melanoma in a child (author's transl)].

The rare case of a ciliary malignant melanoma in an 11-year-old boy is reported. Signs of a subacte iridocyclitis with secondary glaucoma were the main clinical changes. The striking histological details were numerous wide blood vessels with thin endothelial walls within the tumour, and the sparse invasion of the tips of the ciliary processes, and between the sphincter pupillae and the pigment layer of the iris; many tumor cells displayed more than one nucleolus. Finally, a survey is given on the intraocular tumours in children.
