[Congenital imperforation of the nasolacrimal canal].

The medical attendance of the congenital imperforation of the tear-nasal tassel continues to be an actual problem because of the great number of cases met in practice. The analysis of 115 cases of congenital imperforation of the tear-nasal tassel shows the presence of this disease at one eye in 76 cases and at the both eyes in 39 cases. The frequency of the un perforation was greater at men. From 115 cases of congenital imperforations there have been obtained good results using tear lavages in 71 cases and tear polls in 39 cases. In 5 failure informations there was practised dacryocystorhinostomy, but only after 3 years age.

[Oculomotor paralysis in functional strabismus].

Analysis of 800 strabismic children, in the out-patient follow-up, shows a frequency of congenital strabismus of 15%. In a great number of them, the causes were neurogenous. The anamnesis showed that 80 of them had a suffering at birth, and in 42 a defective neuropsychic evolution was found. 40 children were prematures and 30 had not the weight limit at birth. The strabismic deviation was larger than 15 degrees in 83% of the cases, and amblyopia was not frequent. Examples are given of 10 various observations of oculomotor pareses. The treatment was, generally, surgical and was applied early, before consolidation of the abnormal retinal correspondence.

[Advanced closed-angle glaucoma with intercalary staphylomas].

The case of a 70-year-old woman displaying a quasiabsolute glaucoma with large scleral juxtalimbic ectasias at both eyes is reported. The gonioscopic examination shows a closed-angle glaucoma developing for about 10 years with subacute crises, neglected by the patient. Vision at the right eye 1/50 nc, intraocular pressure at the right eye = 34.4 mmHg vision at the left eye = 3/50 nc, intraocular pressure at the left eye = 41.4 mmHg. The ocular examination reveals a small anterior chamber, sectorial iridic atrophies, a mydriatic pupil, the camerular angle closed. The fundus of the eye shows the atrophy of the papilla and excavation with the C/D ratio 0.9 at the right eye and 0.8 at the left eye. It is pointed out that the closed-angle glaucoma may have a subacute course, leading finally to the quasiabsolute stage, with large scleral ectasias like in the open-angle glaucoma.

[Strabismus and pseudostrabismus in premature infants].

Prematurity is a factor that predisposes to strabismus. Three hundred of the 1785 children with strabismus in out patient care during the latter five years were preterm babies, showing that prematurity intervenes in 16.7% of cases in the onset of strabismus. The onset age of strabismus deviation was also earlier before the age of two in 30% of cases. Visual acuity, refraction, strabismus deviation and fixation in terms of the degree of prematurity are analyzed. Neuropsychological examination revealed neurologic disturbances in 28.2% of these children, of which 5% encephalopathy. The neurologic disturbances, frequently of polycentric origin also represent an obstacle in reestablishing binocular vision. Seven premature infants presented pseudostrabismus with abnormal kappa angle and small deviation angle due to macula ectopia.

[Unilateral congenital glaucoma].

The paper reports on the case of a 6-year-old child with OD congenital glaucoma and increase of the ocular globe volume with ruptures of Descemet's membrane. VARE = 1/8 non correcting, VALE = 34 mmHg, RE--divergent strabismus. The left microphthalmus with the corneal diameter of 9 mm. Normal karyotype. Trabeculectomy was performed at the right eye. Good postsurgical evolution. This is a case of phenocopy because in the development and formation of the iridocorneal angle in the sixth month of pregnancy, a series of extrinsic teratogenous factors appeared: measles, influenza, toxemia of pregnancy that produced modifications of the trabecula.

[Carcinoma of the lacrimal sac].

The present paper reports on the case of a 63 year-old woman twice operated for chronic suppurated dacryocystitis. At the third operation the lacrimal sac which was enlarged and rigid was removed. Section of the sac revealed a pinkish-grey formation that occupied the entire lumen of the sac. Histologic examination showed a poorly differentiated carcinoma with an islet-alveolar distribution. Stress is laid on the rare occurrence of primary malignant tumours of the lacrimal sac and the diagnostic difficulties in the onset period.
