[Trans-scleral cyclo-photocoagulation. Results over 6 months].

Transscleral contact cyclophotocoagulation with ND YAG Laser continuous mode permits the induction of a focused ciliary process with a secretory surface decrease. This treatment has been used for the treatment of refractory glaucoma since 1987. We report the treatment by transscleral cyclophotocoagulation of 49 patients with terminal glaucoma. All 49 patients had a measurable visual acuity and an elevated intraocular pressure under maximal medical treatment. None could be operated by trabeculectomy. The origin of the glaucoma was neovascular (26 patients), open angle glaucoma (9 patients) secondary glaucoma (14 patients). 62.2% of the patients had an intraocular pressure < or = 25 mm after 6 months; 8% showed decrease visual acuity. We describe the complications of the treatment and compare the efficacy of treatment depending on the origin of the glaucoma: neovascular or not.

The trochlear nerve: anatomy by microdissection.

This work is based on the microscopic study of 30 trochlear nerve trunks (15 heads). In 17 cases, the trunk arose from two nerve bundles, in 8 cases from one bundle, and for the other 5 nerves, three or four bundles. The mean total length of the trochlear nerve was 86 mm. The nerve may be separated into the 3 following parts: infratentorial, intracavernous, intraorbital. In all 30 cases studied, the first part of the nerve was infratentorial, thus leading us to suggest the term "infratentorial part" for this segment of the nerve. In 27 cases, contact was found with the superior cerebellar artery, in the infratentorial part. In the intracavernous part of ten nerves we found two rami tentorii and in eight cases fibers were exchanged with the ophthalmic nerve. In the orbit, 18 trochlear nerves crossed the posterior ethmoidal artery. 23 trochlear nerves ended on the medial face of the superior oblique muscle. The remaining 7 ended at the superior border of the muscle.
