[Osteogenic aneurysmal orbital cysts].

The orbital form of this osseous tumor-like dystrophy is quite rare. The illustrated description of a new case is reported and the 13 cases of the literature reviewed. The main clinical and radiological data as well as the different treatments are commented upon. The anatomo-pathologic discussion focuses on the morphological aspects, hypotheses on the pathogenesis and differential microscopic features of the lesion as compared to other osseous lesions of the orbital bones.

[Aneurysmal cyst of the orbit (author's transl)].

A child of 11 years of age was found to have an aneurysmal cyst of the orbit. This is an extremely rare cause for tumoral exophthalmia in children and the localization in this region is also very unusual. Only 14 cases are reported in the published literature. The main differences in relation to those occurring in the long bones and vertebrae are the constant absence of pain and the almost exclusively osteolytic radiological appearance.

[Massive orbital osteolysis by a chordoma. Report of a case and review of the litterature (author's transl)].

Clinical, radiological and anatomical description of sellar chordoma giving, on a sixty seven years old man, an unusually large tumoral exophthalmos, a massive orbito-sphenoidal osteolysis and a chiasmatic syndroma. Discussion stresses the topographic data of chordoma in connection with the embryonal chordal cell rests. Patterns of evolution and neuro-ophthalmologic symptoms of cephalic chordoma are studied with the literature facts. Morphologic criteria, specifical ones and those differential diagnosis, are exactly scheduled.

[Vitelliform degeneration of the macula and Leber's amaurosis. Discussion on nosology (author's transl)].

A description of vitelliform degeneration of the macula in 6 year-old child, and Leber's amaurosis in his first cousin aged 7. The evolution has been followed and studied for 18 months from the point of view of slit-lamp examination, function and electrophysiology. The intrafamilial association of these two types of hereditary tapeto-retinal degeneration allows a discussion on their respective nosological character in the light of the small amount of literature available.

[Biometric modification of the eyeball in chorioretinal surgery by Lincoff's indentation method].

Biometric modifications were observed on eyeballs operated upon using the indentation method of Lincoff. The biometric modification of the anteroposterieur axis of the eye was studied by an opticoechographic method. 30 eyeballs with retinal detachment were operated upon using the Lincoff method with silastic implants. The length of the eyeball is not modified. But the analysis of the results indicates a significant reduction of the depth of the anterior chamber. This is entirely neutralized by a slight augmentation of the axial length of the vitreous body. The orientation of the implant has an influence on the biometric data. If it is a radial one, the anteriorposterior axis is lengthened; when it is parallel to the limbus, there a shortening with a reduction in the depth of the anterior chamber.

Anterior Chamber↗

[Acquired posttraumatic deformation of the lens].

6 months after a double perforation of the eye, a dense scar of the vitreous body was observed with the slitlamp. The inferior part of the posterior lens surface was compressed, but no lens opacity could be seen. Such lens deformations are generally produced by tumors and are known since 1930. But it seems that such compressing scars of the vitreous body have never been described.
