[Posterior sub-Tenon's injections of repository corticosteroids in uveitis patients with cystoid macular edema].

Repository corticosteroid was injected into the posterior sub-Tenon's space in 29 cases (39 eyes) of cystoid macular edema (CME) secondary to uveitis. They included 12 cases of Behçet's disease, 7 cases of Sarcoidosis, one case of tuberculous uveitis and 9 cases of etiology unknown uveitis. In some of the patients injections were repeated twice to seven times at intervals of more than 2 weeks. Twenty two of the 39 treated eyes (56.4%) showed visual improvement in at least two lines of visual acuity. Eleven eyes showed no improvement in vision. Most of them had already had bad visual acuity (0.2 or less) before the injections. Complications of the treatment included cataract in 6 eyes, glaucoma in one, and blepharoptosis in one. Injection of repository corticosteroids into the posterior sub-Tenon's space was effective in the treatment of CME secondary to uveitis. However, we have to beware of the complications of this treatment.

[The prolapse of the rectum. Treatment with fibrin adhesive].

Injection of sclerosing solutions into the rectal submucosa or into the perirectal space is one of the many therapies designed to correct rectal prolapse. Since 1994, four patients affected with this condition have been treated with fibrin adhesive percutaneous injection. Up to now, this product had not been used to this aim. Age range was from 1 month to 8 years. The medium duration of prolapse prior to therapy was 19 months and three of them had an associated pathology (myelomeningocele, cystic fibrosis and severe psychomotor retardation). There were no post-injection complications. In one patient with an irreducible prolapse an anus encirclement with a rectal tube was associated. Except for this patient, the whole process take less than 24 hours. With a medium follow up of 11 months this therapy has resulted effective in three of our four patients. It has failed in a girl with severe psychomotor retardation.

[Iatrogenic intra-arterial injection during sclerotherapy of the external saphenous vein].

Inadvertant intra-arterial injection is a rare complication of sclerotherapy of varicose veins. We report one case of accidental popliteal injection complicated by acute ischemiae of the posterior compartment of the leg who needed fasciotomy and Achillus tendum elongation. There is no practical "step-by-step" guide of these complications and the best treatment is the prevention by respect of contraindications and the injection of sclerosing agent under ultrasonographic control.
