Metastatic adenocarcinoma to the anterior uvea and elevated CEA levels.

A 47-year-old man developed chronic unilateral iridocyclitis with secondary glaucoma, and elevated plasma CEA levels. The eye was enucleated seven months later, and histopathologic examination revealed a metastatic mucin producing CEA positive adenocarcinoma. The patient died one year after the initial onset of symptoms. The primary site of the tumor was not proven, but most likely was the gastrointestinal tract.

Metastatic adenocarcinoma to the anterior uvea and increased carcinoembryonic antigen levels.

A 47-year old man developed chronic unilateral iridocyclitis with secondary glaucoma, and increased plasma carcinoembryonic antigen levels. The eye was enucleated seven months later, and histopathologic examination revealed a metastatic mucin-producing carcinoembryonic antigen-positive adenocarcinoma. The patient died one year after the initial onset of symptoms. The primary site of the tumor was not proven, but most likely was the gastrointestinal tract.

Pediculosis ciliaris.

Pediculosis ciliaris, though not as common as in the past, is still not a rare disorder. Infestation has become more prevalent among adolescents within the past few years. Severe itching, irritation, secondary conjunctivitis, and preauricular adenopathy may accompany the louse infestation. A brief review of the etiology and treatment of pediculosis ciliaris has been presented. Every physician should be aware of this disorder and be adequately prepared to treat it.

Aicardi's syndrome: a report of four cases and review of the literature.

Four patients with Aicardi's syndrome (infantile flexion spasms, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and ocular anomalies) are reported, along with photographs of their characteristic fundus abnormalities. The etiology of the syndrome is unclear, but its occurrence exclusively in female patients suggests the possibility of a genetic factor. The ocular abnormalities of Aicardi's Syndrome are distinguishable from, but may be confused with, those of congenital toxoplasmosis and cytomegalic inclusion disease. The syndrome can be identified clinically with a high degree of certainty. Ophthalmologists who are familiar with the syndrome may be helpful in the differential diagnosis.

Duane's retraction syndrome associated with optic nerve hypoplasia.

A patient with unilateral Duane's retraction syndrome and optic nerve hypoplasia is presented. The occurrence of these anomalies not previously reported together in a patient, supports the hypothesis of a disturbance in embryogenesis during the second gestational month as the etiology of the retraction syndrome.
