Diagnosis and management of anterior uveal tumors.

Iris fluorescein angiography is another useful method in the evaluation of anterior uveal tumors. Three cases are presented which indicate that, in the diagnosis and management of anterior uveal tumors, certain fluorescein angiographic patterns may suggest malignancy. The presence of early hyperfluorescence, additional tumor foci, interruption of the normal iris radial vascular pattern by dilated tortuous vessels, and late leakage of fluorescein are suspicious findings, and indicate the necessity for comprehensive evaluation of such tumors.

The intracapsular versus the extracapsular cataract technique in relationship to retinal problems.

Five hundred and sixty-four consecutive eyes after cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation were studied in relationship to the incidence of retinal detachment and cystoid macular edema in the intra vs the extracapsular extraction technique. In 124 eyes undergoing intracapsular cataract extraction, three (2.4%) developed retinal detachment. In 440 eyes undergoing extracapsular cataract extraction two (0.45%) developed retinal detachment. In 87 eyes undergoing intracapsular cataract extraction 7 (8%) developed cystoid macular edema. In 327 eyes undergoing extracapsular cataract extraction 4 (1.2%) developed cystoid macular edema. This study cannot be compared with other series in the literature because high risk cases and those with vitreous loss were excluded.
