[Hamartoma of the pigment epithelium and retina. Apropos of a case].

The retinal pigment epithelium and retinal hamartoma is a rare benign tumor. We describe a case of combined hamartoma of the pigment epithelium and retina in an eight year-old-girl with strabismus and amblyopia. The fluoresceinic angiography and the echography allowed to exclude a malignant tumor of the retina or the choroid. The clinical follow-up confirmed that the lesion was stationary. History, pathogeny, differential diagnostics and treatment are discussed.

[Retinal vasculitis].

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine aetiologies of vasculitis of retina in Morocco. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study on 108 cases of vasculitis of retina admitted in the ophthalmology department, for a 5-year period (1987-1993). Our patients had a complete ophthalmological examination : fluorescine angiography, colour vision, general examination and biological study. RESULTS: Many aetiologies have been found, predominantly Behcet's disease. The neovascularization of retina which complicates the vasculitis was detected in 30 % of our patients. A laser photocoagulation was performed on these cases, sometimes a vitrectomy was necessary when a haemorrhage of vitreous body occurred, complicating the neo-vessels of retina. The therapeutics received by our patients was based on the corticotherapy. An immunosuppression treatment was prescribed in most cases of Behcet's disease and in severe vasculitis. Outcome after treatment has been satisfactory, but many patients relapse very frequently, mainly those with Behcet's disease. CONCLUSION: Causes of vascular retinitis are variable, most of them are due to Behcet's disease.

[Outcome of Behçet disease in ophthalmologic practice in Morocco].

We treated 123 patients with Behçet's disease during a period of 10 years (1984-1993). The ocular lesions include uveal lesions especially the posterior lesions and vascular retinal. Uveitis was total in 72% of cases. Periphlebitis occurred in 51% of cases, vein occlusion in 10% of cases, macular oedema in 16% and papillary oedema in 10%. Clinical course and prognosis were studied. The functional prognosis is poor as such lesions may lead to blindness, particularly due to papillary oedema maculopathy. The treatment used is based on immunosuppressive and corticoid steroid drugs.

[Bourneville's tuberous sclerosis].

We present a case of tuberous sclerosis, classified as phacomatosis. The patient is a young woman admitted to hospital for a tumor in the right eye. The diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis was based on the presence of the various symptoms of this disease. The patient's ophthalmological symptoms were severe. Ophthalmologists must look for these symptoms in all subjects at risk, particularly in patients with epilepsy but also in the presence of cutaneous or visceral symptoms.
