[Chronic granulomatous endophthalmitis. Clinical-pathological correlation].

CASE REPORT: The authors present the case of a patient with a painful eye secondary to a non-perforating traumatism sustained in the past which, at the time of the injury, had caused a post-traumatic cataract, corneal lesions and a secondary glaucoma. The structural damage of the ocular content, associated with a well preserved size and external shape, made the diagnosis more difficult, requiring additional diagnostic methods. The pathological findings are also presented. DISCUSSION: The authors present the available diagnostic methods for those cases with chronic inflammation in which direct examination of the ocular content is not feasible, and it is mandatory to exclude vital threatening pathologies.

[Detection of visual acuity disorders and amblyopia in preschool children].

OBJECTIVE: To call attention to the visual sharpness disorders which pre-school children on a determined paediatric list present. DESIGN: A descriptive study. SETTING: Riaño Health Centre, Langreo, Asturias. PARTICIPANTS: Pre-school children aged 4 and 5 at the study date (1994). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: A total of 155 children captured for the study through the nursing child programme were evaluated. Data were collected from their corresponding clinical histories. Evaluation was performed by Paediatrics and Ophthalmology specialists and second-year interns in Family and Community Medicine at the Valle del Nalón hospital. To check ocular alignment, the Hirschberg test was used; and to explore visual sharpness, the Pigassou optotype was applied. Disturbance of ocular alignment was suspected in 40.6% of cases and pathology was confirmed in 58.3%; whereas in 44% of cases referral to the ophthalmologist was due to errors in the visualisation of the optotype, with 50% presenting pathology. Amblyopia was found in 5.4% of the total population studied. In the breakdown of ophthalmic pathology it was observed that compound astigmatism was the most common finding (25%). CONCLUSIONS: 1. The high prevalence of Amblyopia found underlines the importance of considering it as a priority objective in prevention programmes. 2. The Hirschberg test and early use of optotypes should be considered elementary routine exploration tests in the scheduled check-ups. 3. It would be useful to strengthen training within the population as a whole as well as improve the linking of Primary and Specialist Care.

[Epidemic parotitis and Reiter's syndrome].

A case of epidemic parotiditis in an adult male affected by Reiter's syndrome, is presented. The symptoms of Reiter's syndrome lasting 3 months after the recovery from epidemic parotiditis. Although descriptions of Reiter's syndrome of viral origin (adenovirus or hepatitis virus) exist, we have not found references of a relation to epidemic parotiditis. The diagnosis criteria of this syndrome is discussed, as well as the study of the epidemic parotiditis. We review the existing theories in order to justify the multiple etiology of this interesting syndrome.
