Retinoblastoma: some aspects concerning diagnosis, heredity, and treatment.

The authors set forth their views on the early diagnosis, heredity, and therapeutic problems of retinoblastoma. They regard as imperative the frequent ophthalmological check-up of familial tumors and of tumors of sporadic occurence, notably when they are bilateral. The further problems posed by the surviving patients are discussed in detail in the light of follow-up examinations extended up to 15 years.

The necessary resection of the levator muscle of the upper eyelid in the operation for congenital blepharoptosis.

The authors comment on the excellent postoperative results obtained in 22 eyes operated on according to the Blaskovics method for congenital blepharoptosis. They discuss the length of the resected part of the levator muscle of the upper lid, the length depending in each case on the degree of the ptosis and on the functional ability of the levator muscle. They arrive at the conclusion that the shortening of the levator muscle must be considerably greater than heretofore advocated by the classical view.
