Filtration blebs in corneoscleral wounds sutured with Dexon 7-0 and Dexon 8-0.

In a retrospective investigation the incidence of post-operative subconjunctival filtration with bleb formation were studied in 112 eyes which had undergone cataract surgery with a corneoscleral incision sutured with braided polyglycolic acid sutures (Dexon). In 61 consecutive cataract operations sutured with Dexon 8-0 there were filtration blebs in 24 (39,3%) eyes, and in 51 consecutive cataract operations sutured with Dexon 7-0 there were filtration blebs in 11 (21,6%), eyes. Although there is a difference between the two materials, this is not statistically significant with the normal security level P less than 0.05.

Lymphoma and other lymphoid lesions of the orbit (II).

The incidence, survival rate and causes of death of patients with orbital lymphomas and other lymphoid lesions of the orbit in Denmark, during the period 1943-62 inclusive, were studied by means of a clinico-pathological analysis. In the period examined, the incidence of histologically verified primary orbital tumours was 0.06%. The incidence of primary orbital lymphomas and lymphoid lesions was at least 0.012%. These can be histologically divided into 3 categories: benign, indeterminate (intermediary) and malignant. The present study confirms the relevance of this classification, as there is a definite relationship between the histological diagnosis and the clinical survival rate. For the patients in question, the chances of dying of a universal malignant disease were approximately 10(3) times greater than in the normal Danish population.

Lymphoma and other lymphoid lesions of the orbit. Preliminary report.

The orbit differs from the rest of the organism, excluding the central nervous system, as concerns lymph drainage. This may possible explain some of the peculiar features in lymphoid orbital lesions. The lymphoid tumours of the orbit are discussed on the basis of the classification most widely applied. An illustrative case is reported and it is concluded that even if local therapy may prove successful, patients in whom orbital lymphoid tumours have been diagnosed should be kept under constant observation with a view to prompt institution of treatment upon evidence of generalized disease.
