[A case of multiple epitheliopathy associated with sub-retinal neovascularization].

Gass described the acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy in 1968. The disturbance of visual function is generally temporary with subsequent recovery. We describe one case of peripapillary and macular neovascularization with decreasing visual acuity due to macular haemorrhage followed by a fibro-glial scar. The pathogeny of the syndrome can explain the possible neovascularization. Neovascularization has been more often described with serpiginous choroiditis.

[Involvement of the posterior eye segment in HLA B27(+) iridocyclitis. Incidence. Value of surgical treatment].

46 patients with the association of acute anterior uveitis and the presence of HLA B27 antigen were studied. Ankylosing spondylitis was found in 19 patients (41.3%). Ophthalmoscopy showed a diffuse vitreous haze in 63%, a macular disease in 21.7%, a papillitis in 17.4%. We performed pars plana vitrectomy on 8 patients (10 eyes) with severe posterior uveitis and/or cystoid macular edema. The postoperative follow-up period averaged 14 months with visual acuity improvement in 5 eyes. The surgical indications are described.

[A study in immunofluorescence of the plasma cells in allergic conjunctivitis, in particular of the cells forming immunoglobulin E (IgE) (author's transl)].

The relatively simple and precise technique of direct immunofluorescence on a tissue section enables the study and enumeration of all types of plasma cells including mastocytes (stained with acridine orange) in normal conjunctiva (5 cases), chronic non-allergic conjunctivitis (5 cases), allergic conjunctivitis of the educt (11 cases) and vernal conjunctivitis (11 cases). There is evidence of elevation of IgE plasma cells in type I allergic conjunctivitis where they are twice as raised as in non-allergic cases in adult forms, and three times more elevated in vernal conjunctivitis. There was no correlation between the number of IgE plasma cells in the tissues and IgE level in sera. Thus in air-borne conjunctival allergies local hypersensitivity seems to be the predominant, even exclusive, feature.
