[Results of the treatment of acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery].

Since 1980, the authors have observed 56 cases of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery which they classify into three groups: A. 18 cases of forms confined to the anterior segment, which just received medical treatment; B. 37 cases of more serious forms with vitreous abscess, treated by vitrectomy; C. 1 case of fulminant form which was eviscerated. The results of group B are better than those of group A: organic: 2.7% versus 11.1% of phtisis; functional: 73% of calculable visual acuity versus 66.6%, although the initial forms had been more severe. Vitrectomy, however causes some complications such as initial detachment (16.2%) cystoïd macular oedema (11%) and vascular complications (11%). However that may be, vitrectomy has several advantages: to collect a larger amount of vitreous liquid; to mechanically eliminate the pus; a faster functional rehabilitation by lightening of the vitreous.

[Fundus oculi test in the detection of Gardner syndrome].

Gardner's syndrome is an adenomatous polyposis coli characterized by extracolonic manifestations such as congenital hypertrophy of retinal pigment epithelium. This inherited autosomal dominant disorder has a marked propensity to malignant transformation, so it is important to detect affected patients early. Ophthalmologic manifestations are simple, non invasive reliable and very sensitive. The gene responsible for this disorder was localized to the long arm of the fifth chromosome. The results of investigation in 3 families are reported herein and compared with the data of the literature.

[Functional results of cataract surgery with implantation in Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis].

Cataract removal with implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) was performed in 66 cases of Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis. After an average postoperative follow-up of 40 months (6 months to 10 years, 81.6% of cases obtained visual acuity superior or equal to 5/10 (16.6% with a final visual acuity of 10/10). Thirty cases were analysed, 27 had satisfactory binocular vision. Two complications explained this limited visual performance: vitreal disorders observed in 45.5% of cases were responsible for visual acuity inferior or equal to 5/10 in 23% of cases, glaucoma observed in 12.1% of cases (3 cases were secondary to cataract surgery), 25% of these patients with glaucoma lost all visual acuity and 62.5% had a high intraocular pression uncontrolled by surgery (5 cases). Other risk factors were less important: loss of transparency of intraocular lens caused by precipitates observed in one case, Irvine-Gass syndrome and retinal detachment observed in one case. The restoration of satisfactory binocular vision justifies the risks of intraocular lens implantation in cases of Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis.

[Results of systematic preventive treatment with argon laser after idiopathic retinal detachment].

Incidence of spontaneous second retinal detachment ranged from 10 to 19%. We reported a retrospective study of 527 rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. At the end of this study 302 second eyes with an average follow up of 46 months have been analysed. 205 second eyes were treated systematically by 360 degrees equatorial Argon Laser Photocoagulation (ALP) completed by four anterior radial rows independently of evidence or lack of peripheral retinal degenerations or retinal breaks. The incidence of bilateral retinal detachment decreased from 11 to 2.4% when systematical prophylactic treatment has been applied. After prophylactic treatment, no complications could be certainly attribute to ALP. This study contributed to ascertain safety and effectiveness of systematical prophylactic treatment by ALP.

[Photocoagulation in sex-linked heredofamilial retinoschisis].

In a series of 120 eyes of 60 patients in 24 affected families, 28 eyes were treated by photocoagulation in order to stabilize the extension of bullous peripheral retinoschisis to the posterior pole or to prevent retinal detachment. 3 eyes affected by severe retinal detachment in the months following this treatment. After analysis of spontaneous evolution of the untreated eyes and review of literature, the authors conclude that preventive photocoagulation in bullous retinoschisis is not advised, because of spontaneous regression with age and the possibility of complications. Prophylaxis treatment of retinal detachment by encircling the posterior pole by photo-coagulations is discussed.

[Comparative value of automatized perimetry using the G1 programme octopus 500 and ophthalmologic monitor in the detection and follow-up of open-angle glaucoma].

Authors compare 2 statics perimetrics: G1 programme by octopus 500 and 1 static programme by "moniteur ophtalmologique". Results are quite similar in the group of follow up. In the other group, the second method seems to be a little too sensible. A longer experience is necessary and clinical follow up too.

[Retinal vasculitis].

Retinal vasculitis is an inflammatory permeability disorder of the retinal vascular wall affecting chiefly the veins and capillary vessels. It is diagnosed at ophthalmoscopy which demonstrates vascular sheathing and even better at fluorescein angioscopy which shows the colouring agent diffusing from the vessels. As regards its aetiology and treatment, retinal vasculitis is disconcerting. Except in those cases where a systemic disease can be blamed, the condition is isolated, usually chronic and often recurrent. It may result in visual impairment or, exceptionally, blindness.

Analysis of results in the treatment of peripheral retinoschisis in sex-linked congenital retinoschisis.

Curative and prophylactic treatment of peripheral retinoschisis has been studied over a period of 20 years in 60 cases of sex-linked congenital retinoschisis. Peripheral retinoschisis occurred in 36 of 120 eyes. In all, 12 severely affected eyes in children under 10 years of age underwent surgery (8 improvements and 4 aggravations) and 21 cases were photocoagulated (18 stabilisations and 3 aggravations that were subsequently treated by surgery); 6 cases were not treated. Aggravations after surgery or photocoagulation were consistently observed in the early post-operative follow-up period. An epidemiological study of these 60 patients demonstrated that bullous-phase peripheral retinoschisis occurs only in patients under 10 years of age, with a tendency to regress with age (no cases were reported in patients over 50 years of age). This study closely corroborates the findings of authors who think that this type of retinoschisis tends to improve spontaneously and that indications for prophylactic or curative treatment should be very carefully considered.

X-shaped macular dystrophy with flavimaculatus flecks.

Two families showed a retinal pigment epithelial dystrophy characterized by an X-shaped yellowish macular lesion and numerous flavimaculatus retinal flecks. Nine members were variously affected. The condition was bilateral, had a dominant inheritance and started in middle age with a slow-developing macular lesion. Visual functions were often minimally disturbed for 2 or 3 decades. The flavimaculatus flecks which differed in number appeared only as secondary phenomena yet increased in number and size. At the onset of the disease, the ERG and EOG as well as colour vision were normal and became altered only in the course of a very slow process.
