[Considerations on the pathogenesis of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (author's transl)].

Considerations brought about by one of the authors own cases are presented on the pathogenesis of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy. Two theories are hitherto mainly discussed: (1) Primary changes in the pigment epithelium are pathogenetically responsible, (2) primary changes in the choriocapillaris cause secondary changes in the pigment epithelium. The authors, led by their own observations tend to place the disease in the group of primary diseases of the pigment epithelium.

[Cytarabine treatment of herpes zoster (author's transl)].

Systemic treatment of herpes zoster becomes possible by cytarabine. Complications of herpes zoster ophthalmicus such as relapsing corneal ulceration, perforation or scarring, secondary glaucoma, Argyll Robertson pupils, extraocular muscle palsies, and optic atrophy, as well as postherpetic neuralgia can be prevented by the use of this drug. For this reason the authors believe treatment with cytarabine to be the therapy of choice in herpes zoster.

Optic nerve hypoplasia.

Optic nerve hypoplasia is rarely met in otherwise normal eyes. Three unilateral cases of patients with small optic disks, reduced visual acuity, and convergent squint on the affected eye are presented. The anomaly is probably caused by failure of development of the ganglion cell layer of the retina causing a small optic nerve head with normal central vessels. Inheritance or induction by drugs could not be found in our cases.
