[Acute corneal endothelial cell loss].

Corneal endothelial cell loss may result from endogenic causes, such as acute angle-closure glaucoma, or exogenic causes, such as corneal contusion, corneal perforation or surgery involving the anterior chamber. The extent of endothelial cell loss varies with the severity of trauma. Despite the different causes the response of the corneal endothelium is always an endothelial cell loss. Corneal endothelial decomposition may result from an acute endothelial cell loss.

[Experimental findings with a fibrin tissue adhesive in conjunctival and skleral surgery in a rabbit model (author's transl)].

The authors investigated the wound closure of conjunctival wounds with fibrin adhesive as compared to a suture technique in rabbits. Similarly, the fixation of a transplant of lyophilized dura mater on the sclera by fibrin adhesive was also compared with a suture technique. Both clinically and histologically, there were only negligible differences in wound healing in the two series. In particular, no toxic reaction caused by the adhesive substance was observed. To avoid failures in wound closure with the investigated tissue adhesive there must be no tension at the edges of the wound.

[Eye injuries caused by a defective high pressure hose in mines. An analyse in 50 cases (author's transl)].

We analyse eye injuries in 50 miners who came to our Eye Hospital following an accident involving a defective high pressure hose. Depending on the nature of the accident we can distinguish 3 types, correlating with the severity of the injury. The majority of cases presented primarily as blunt bulbus traumata. Severe sequelae consisted of lens opacities and retinal damage. We discuss methods of prevention.

[Metastatic carcinomata in the anterior uvea as the presenting clinical manifestation (author's transl)].

Metastatic carcinomata in the anterior uvea are rare. Some of them may be diagnosed before the primary tumor is clinically detected. We report on three such cases. The vast majority of secondaries in the anterior uvea have their primary in the bronchus. It is rather exceptional that a metastasis in the anterior chamber can be traced to an eosophageal carcinoma as in one of our cases.

[Surgery on the eye under anticoagulative therapy (author's transl)].

Surgery on the eye of patients on long term anticoagulation therapy is possible. To avoid bleeding suprarenin solution 1:1000, coagulation of conjunctival and scleral blood vessels, incision into the cornea when removing cataracts and iridectomy under the operating microscope are recommended. Local anaesthesia is advisable, has however the risk of a retrobulbar hematoma. Thromboplastin time (Quick) under 15% of the norm should be avoided, and only raised in cooperation with the responsible internist.

[Recurrent retroperitoneal giant lipoma (author's transl)].

A giant lipoma weighing 9.1 kg situated retroperitoneally which was removed by operation from a 74-year-old woman is reported. The diagnosis of tumors is discussed. The characteristics of this primary benign tumor such as the rapid growth, tendency to malignant degeneration and recurrence make radical surgical removal necessary.
