[Scintigraphy of the lacrimal ducts. Value of the lateral incidence in postoperative period].

Lacrimal scintillography, a simple, non traumatic, and physiological method, has been for a long time an useful exploration in the study excretory pathology. It allows an accurate diagnosis especially in the case of functional stenosis and, due to its ability to indicate the exact seat of obstruction, this technique is able to determine the surgical treatment required. This study underlines the contribution of lacrimal scintillography in the control of surgical anastomosis permeability, because of a modification in the initial technique: the use of scintillography in employing the lateral view rather than the front view, usually used, permits a better visualisation of the new surgically created excretory passage, particularly in the posterior area of nasal fossae.

[Gonioretraction using argon laser].

Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) has recently become one of the most popular procedures in the treatment of chronic open angle glaucoma. Although ALT is quite efficient, its mode of action is far from understood and the rate of complications or side effects is not negligible. In 1981 we began exploring a different procedure that we have called argon laser gonioretraction (ALG) with reference to the Cairns surgical goniospasis. While the corneo-scleral trabeculum is the target for argon laser beams in ALT, in ALG the beams are directed toward the ciliary band in an attempt to get the scar to pull the scleral spur backwards and stretch the trabeculum. The procedure may also act through the uveal trabeculum. The procedure was first utilized from 1981 to 1983 in 43 chronic open angle glaucoma eyes with: 1/ a high rate of success in decreasing the intraocular pressure on a long term basis, 2/ an acceptable rate of complications. 18 months after laser surgery, intraocular pressure was fully controlled without any medical treatment in 19 cases (44%). 18 additional cases (42%) were controlled with the help of less medical treatment than before. In 4 cases (8%) the failure was complete including one case with significant prolonged and non-responsive post-op hypertension which has induced a slight alteration of the visual field. One case was lost to follow-up. Supposed advantages of ALG over ALT are: integrity of the corneo-scleral trabeculum is maintained, goniosynechiae are more peripheral, and there is less propensity to induce proliferation of endothelial cells.

[Contusion and permeability of the hemato-aqueous barrier to fluorescein. Effect of a pretreatment by local indometacine (author's transl].

An experimental study, by angiography of the anterior segment of rabbit's eye, estimates the permeability of the hemato-aqueous barrier, using fluorescein. A trauma of the eye (contusion) leads to a rapid and significant increase in this permeability. However, local pretreatment, using an ophthalmic solution of 0,33% indometacine, almost completely stabilizes the hemato-aqueous barrier, even for elements as diffusible as fluorescein. These results suggest that application of a similar preparation to the human eye could be useful in the treatment of ocular contusions, chemical burns and angle-closure glaucoma. But the best perspective could be the application of the indometacine solution to the eye, before an operation, to reduce the sideeffects of surgery relative to the surgical break of the hemato-aqueous barrier.

[Local indomethacin and early postcontusive ocular reaction in rabbits].

The local administration of a solution of indomethacin into the conjunctival fornix of the rabbit eye before anterior segment contusion has a marked inhibition on early post-contusion hypertonia. This result strongly suggests that local indomethacin could be of value in the treatment of accidental trauma to the eye as well as in the prevention of reactions following surgical trauma.

[Surgical treatment of secondary glaucomas with extensive goniosynechias (author's transl)].

The authors propose to consider that the liberation of the ciliary body of Benedikt, combined or not with vitrectomy and/or with surgery of the exposed ciliary body and/or with reconstruction of the angle and/or with the treatment of secondary glaucomas with extensive goniosynechias. 30 eyes were operated according to these principles during a period of two years. They presented an angle closure glaucoma that was neglected, provoking a chronic state via the formation of a ring shaped goniosynechia (11 eyes), an aphakic secondary glaucoma (7 eyes), neo-vascular glaucoma (3 eyes), a malignant glaucoma (3 eyes), absolute glaucoma (4 eyes), or secondary glaucoma of diverse causes (2 eyes). A favourable result in the IOP control was obtained in 69% of the cases with only a minor number of complications (ciliary body hernia (5 eyes), cataract (2 eyes), choroid hematoma (1 eye). In the future, the number of undesirable results and complications should diminish as the knowledge of the principles that guide this new surgical approach of secondary glaucomas becomes better understood.
