Lash excision in trichiasis.

A simple technique for lash excision in the surgical management of trichiasis is described. Of 13 patients treated with this technique, 11 had complete relief of symptoms and 2 had significant improvement in symptoms with the remaining symptoms attributable to other manifestations of their underlying disease. There were no complications in any of the cases from the surgical procedure itself. This procedure is quickly and easily performed and has been found to be particularly useful in elderly and debilitated patients, and in those patients whose trichiasis is associated with conjunctival scarring.

[Centrifugal annular erythema of Colcott-Fox type (erythema gyratum perstans)].

The case of a child with Colcott-Fox type of centrifugal annular chronic erythema is reported. It is a sporadic, non-familial form, associated with a bullous eruption, and an atrophic conjonctivitis with trichiasis. A review is made of 11 previously published cases, allowing a synthesis of their essential features. The action played by the slow reactive substances (S. R. S. A.) in the extension of the erythematous margin is discussed. The clinical diagnosis of centrifugal annular erythema is exposed.

A simple surgical treatment for upper lid trichiasis.

The authors report the results of a simple surgical treatment in 24 lids of 19 patients. The most common cause of the trichiasis was trachoma (83.3%). The operation involved splitting the lid margin, fracturing the tarsal plate, and everting sutures. The anatomic success rate was 62.5% and the functional success rate was 75%. Recurrent cilia were mostly isolated and symptomatic improvement was achieved in all but one patient. The authors conclude that this is a cost-effective procedure.

Conjunctival cilia entrapment: an unrecognized cause of ocular irritation.

Conjunctival entrapment of cilia is form of ocular irritation that to our knowledge has not yet been described. Scarring predisposes the conjunctiva to this phenomenon by creating blind recesses in which loose cilia can become entrapped. Once caught, the rigid cilia can act as a mechanical irritant or act as a nidus for microbial growth. We present herein three patients with entrapped cilia and discuss their pathophysiology and management. The symptoms in all three patients resolved with conjunctivoplasty and removal of the cilia.

Vitreochorioretinal degeneration associated with trichomegaly.

A 15-year-old white boy had bilateral vitreochorioretinal degeneration associated with trichomegaly. Findings on electroretinography and fluorescein angiography provided additional information on the retinal changes not noted in 3 previously reported cases having these associated features. Although similar on ophthalmoscopy, fluourescein angiography, and by electroretinography, the retinal disease in our patient differed from cases of gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina in having normal plasma ornithine levels.
