Five cases of macular pigmentation with peripheral choroidal melanoma are studies. The pigmentation is in relation with accumulation of macrophages under the macula. These macrophages derive from the retinal pigment epithelium over the peripheral malignant melanoma of the choroid.

The authors report a case of ocular manifestation of a Sipple disease. They discuss, the association with endocrine poly-adenomatosis and the relationship with the APUD system.

Study of two patients with spontaneous detachment of the choroid. In addition to detachment of the choroid, case 1 had a flat anterior chamber. Corticotherapy gave some improvement but after 3 months, surgical management was necessary. In case 2 enucleation was performed on the basis of positive echographic findings. Histological findings, the main clinical features and the therapeutical approach are discussed.

We observed in 13 young patients a serous or hemorrhagic paramacular detachment of one third to one half disc diameter size. In eight, we have seen also atrophic choroidal scars. In one patient the serous detachment occured at the site of a previously studied choroidal scar. Our cases resemble the presumed ocular histoplasmin choroiditis described in American literature. In our cases histoplasmosis can be excluded. Visual prognosis is dependent upon proximity of the choroidal lesion to the fovea. In most cases this prognosis is poor. The term juvenile hemorrhagic ocular choroidopathy is suggested for the disease.
The results of argon laser photocoagulation performed on 20 eyes with ischemic or edematous central retinal vein occlusion were analyzed. In patients with ischemic occlusion, neovascularization improved after treatment but they derived no benefit as far as visual acuity is concerned. In the group with enematous occlusion, visual acuity and macular edema improved after treatment. However, 6 of 8 patients of this group had prior urokinase treatment.
Prevention of malignant glaucoma: in first case report lens extraction and trabeculectomy was followed by a malignant glaucoma; in the second case report pars-plana vitrectomy and trabeculectomy was successful. The role of a vitreous posterior blockage is discussed.

A report of a family in which three generations were affected by on autosomal dominant corneal dystrophy. The authors studied two fragments of a recurrence on a graft where they noted the presence of granular material. Histochemical studies were negative. Electron microscopy showed the presence of deposits of crystalline appearance resembling those of Groenouw type I dystrophy.
Ultrastructural study of two cases of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous. Behind posterior lens capsule we find a connective tissue where fibroblasts present an intense activity. Numerous vessels and neuro-ectodermal tissue were noted.
Two cases of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous have been managed by the vitreous cutter Sukon "Alternating" with a pars-plana approach.
Study of six cases of vitreous touch syndrom with histopathology of five buttoms of kératoplasty. Light and electron-microscopy demonstrate many alterations of Descemet's membrane, which is thickened, devided in sheets. In one specimen there was a retrocorneal fibrous membrane and "fibroblast like cells". These findings support the mechanism of endothelial fibrous metaplasia as the origin of the retrocorneal fibrous membrane during vitreous touch syndrom.
