Type 1 diabetes with no diabetic complications, 62 years later.

We report a type 1 diabetes in an 88-year-old female patient discovered in 1938 at the age of 26. She was promptly put on insulin, which lasted 62 years so far. This patient was highly remarkable because she portrayed a historical case of insulin-treated diabetes diagnosed in 1938. The absence of microangiopathy and specially retinopathy was quite singular, all the more reason that her diabetes was ill-controlled. Environmental or genetic factors may, one day, explain this unusual favourable outcome.

[Multifocal chorioretinitis in spontaneous or induced immunodeficiencies].

Multifocal simultaneous retinochoroditis are more and more frequent. They seem improved by immunodeficiencies. In 12 cases observed during only the 1987 year: 5 were spontaneous and 7 in relation with a corticosteroid treatment associated or not with other immunosuppressors. The vitreous products analysis lead in 10 cases to find 7 toxoplasmosis in 2 AIDS and 3 CMV with 2 positive Elisa test. The immunodeficiencies prevention spontaneous but also in relation with uncontrolled treatments appear as a very important necessity and urgency.

[Value of vitrectomy in intermediate uveitis and Behçet's disease with hyalitis. A study of 400 cases].

Can vitrectomy help to understand the vitreous role in intermediate uveitis and Behçet's disease with vitritis without retinal detachment? 400 vitrectomies were decided because of vitreous changes but, over all, if macular changes were seen clinically or on the angiogram in 58 Behçet's disease and 342 intermediate uveitis including 59 children cases. Visual acuity, clinical, angiographical and visual field controls, recurrences, reduction of the medical treatment and growth were followed during 1 to 9 years. The vitrectomy products were compared to those of other inflammatory origin vitreous, the both representing 149 cases. Vitrectomy at the early stage of only posterior interface changes prevent the macular edema but this one is irreversible. The preexisting angiographical lesions have not regressed but they are generally quiet. The RD incidence is lower even if it is possible after vitrectomy, in 1.2% of the cases (1% in late vitrectomies). Recurrences and further medical treatment are reduced. This psychological point of view is important. Thus, vitrectomy at alone posterior interface change stage avoid ocular complications. Its pathogenic role in intermediate uveitis is not demonstrated; it seems more a secondary than a primary process.
