[The exacerbating role of the vascular factor in the evolution of open-angle glaucoma].

UNLABELLED: The paper proposes to study the ophthalmic and carotid circulation of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma in varied stages of evolution. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The lot is formed by 8 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, selected such that one eye to be absolute or quasiabsolute and the congener eye in incipient stage. The average (medium) age is 64 years, the patients having blood pressure within normal limits. The study of ophthalmic and carotid circulation was made by echo-Doppler and the calcul of velocimetric indices. RESULTS: The resistance index is increased in concordance with the stage of glaucoma. The diastolic flux is the most serious affected. There is no parallelism between the blood pressure value and the grade affectation of velocimetric indices. CONCLUSIONS: The local vascular diseases, ophthalmic and carotid, influence unsatisfactory the evolution of primary open-angle glaucoma.

[Chronic tuberculous iridocyclitis].

One patient is seventy-one years old, diagnosed four years ago with latero-cervical ganglionic tuberculosis, presents approximately one year and half, progressive loss of the vision in both eyes, predominant in the left-eye; for several months periocular pains referred to the left hemicranial field are presented. Ocular exam: visual acuity was 1/100 in the right eye and perception movements of the hand in the left eye: intraocular pressure was 28 mmHg in the right eye and 8 mmHg in the left eye: perikeratic congestion, chemosis, pigmented precipitates on the posterior face of the corneo, iris in "umbrella", seclusion and occlusion of the pupillary at the left eye, posterior synechiae at the right eye were noted. The eye ground exam is not possible due the pupillary partial seclusion at the right eye and the pupillary seclusion-occlusion at the left eye. The general exam releaves several latero-cervical keloid scars and pronounced dysphonia. Laboratory exam: IDR of the tuberculin was high positive, chest radiography shows hilar bilateral calcifications, ORL exam shows a tumor at the foot of the epiglottis and anatomopathological exam shows low differentiated epidermoid carcinoma. Using the anamnestic dates, clinical and paraclinical exams, we established the diagnosis: chronic tuberculosis iridocyclitis with pupillary seclusion and occlusion at the both eyes; secondary glaucoma at the right eye: latero-cervical ganglionic tuberculosis: epidermoid laryngeal carcinoma.

[Adenocarcinoma of the meibomian gland with invasion of the orbit].

Adenocarcinoma of the meibomian glands is a tumor with atypical glandular features, that appear initially as a chalazion formation and then invades the neighbouring tissues. The patient, a 63 years old woman, presents a chalazion at the level of the left lower eyelid, which, after developing for a year, stars bleeding and infiltrates the ground of the inferior sac and the orbit. The tumoral formation makes a common body with the eyeball and the cornea, which, lacking protection, becomes opaque. Removal of the ulcerous eyelids is performed, with partial exenteration of the orbit. Anatomopathological investigation show the diagnosis: adenocarcinoma of the meibomian glands. Adenocarcinoma of the meibomian glands is the most malignant palpebral tumor. The signs of malignity are: infiltrated and relapsing aspect of the chalazion in on aged person, with low sebaceous secretion in the presence of pigmentations and bleedings in the tumor.

[Genetic predisposition in glaucoma].

The comparative study of the genetic factors implication in low-tension and high-tension glaucoma showed the presence of glaucoma familial cases in both form. In 3 cases of low-tension glaucoma the presence of other familial cases of high-tension glaucoma was revealed. The existence of hereditary cases of high-tension glaucoma in families with low-tension glaucoma suggests the existence of some common factors, responsible for producing both affections. On the other hand, the systematic research of the existent glaucomatous deficits at the patients with glaucoma familial cases deserves greater attention.

[Malignant palpebral tumors. Comments on 111 cases].

During 1991-1995, 111 patients with palpebral malignant tumours were hospitalized. They represented 15% of the face malignant tumours. The maximal incidence was mentioned after the age of 60 years, only 21 patients were under 60 years of age. The most cases (88) were located at the level of inferior eyelid and internal canthus. From an anatomo-pathological point of view, 88 cases were baso-cellular epitheliomas, 10 were spino-cellular epitheliomas. 1 case was malignant melanoma and 1 case was adenocarcinomas of Meibomius gland. In 30% of the cases the patients come lately. The surgery of palpebral neoplasm requires both an oncological-oriented operation and a plastic-reparatory operation; the reparatory operations using free or pedicled grafts [correction of pediculate graphs] are presented.

[Post-varicella keratoendothelitis].

The female patient, convalescent after varicella, presented in the tenth day after disappearance of the cutaneous eruption the first ocular symptoms with perikeratic congestion, endothelial precipitations, folds of the Descemet membrane, thick stroma, endothelial edema with appearance like keratoendothelitis. Ocular manifestations in varicella are produced through sanguine circulation of the virus like a varicella uveitis. The paper insists on various ocular manifestations in varicella.
