49 eyes with pseudophakic retinal detachments are operated with 44 good anatomic results (90% success). These detachments are characterised by the high frequency of anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
The authors study an observation of unusual localisation, near the optic disc, of periphlebitis associated to multilocular sclerosis. There are some cicatricial periphlebitis and active others, which are more peripheral, alone without any uveitis. These ones resolved in two months with cortisone treatment.
A 32 years old patient died seven months after a radial keratotomy. The histologic study of one cornea is realized. The wound of anterior stroma varies from 0.08 to 0.13 mm; it is filled of epithelial cells with eosinophile cytoplasm and a round nucleus. Near this epithelial ingrowth Bowman's membrane is interrupted and the fibres of stroma lose their parallel direction in comparison with the epithelial plane. These histopathologic results are compared with the other publications; and in reference with the mechanism of the healing, an histogenesis of the corneal healing is proposed.
Intraocular silicone oil tamponade is used as an adjunct to vitrectomy in the treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. The authors analyzed the effect of silicone oil on the corneal endothelium in 28 patients (10 phakic and 18 aphakic). In the phakic group, the endothelial cellular loss is small, no significant. In the aphakic group, the endothelial cellular loss is 20%.
