[The partner eye in unilateral malignant glaucoma].

The fellow eyes of 9 Patients suffering of unilateral classical malignant glaucoma have been throughly examined short after the onset of malignant glaucoma. In 3 cases they were apparently normal, in other 3 cases they exhibited an intermittent primary angle closure glaucoma and in the remaining 3 ones an absolute glaucoma. The therapeutic options of these fellow eyes are discussed.

Adult

Exuberant epibulbar tumor penetrating into the orbit in xeroderma pigmentosum.

The clinical and histopathological findings are described in a 10-year-old girl with xeroderma pigmentosum and multiple ophthalmic complications, including the eyelids, conjunctiva, orbit, cornea and iris; some of these complications took an unusual form. Histological examination following right orbital exenteration revealed an epibulbar squamous cell carcinoma penetrating the orbit and building a noose all around the ocular globe with subsequent strangulation. Moreover, a palpebral squamous cell carcinoma developed-independently from the right lower lid and, unconnected with the epibulbar tumor, penetrated to the orbit.

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

[Clinico-statistical observations on malignant ocular tumors surgically resolved at the Cluj-Napoca Ophthalmological Clinic between 1970 and 1990].

During the period mentioned above there ware hospitalized 54 patients having epibulbar tumours. The anatomopathological exam which was effectuated for 33 patients hes shown Bowen's disease for 14 cases, spinocellular carcinoma for 15 patients and basocellular for 3 patients. There were 4 cases for epibulbar precancerous. There was retinoblastoma for 19 cases; it had been practiced the enucleation of ocular globe for 17 patients and for two cases it had been practiced the exenteration of the eye socket. At the same period there were 91 uveal melanosis 6 of which having iridial localization, 10 cases of ciliary body [correction of cylar corpus], 75 cases of choroid. The hepatic scintigraphy was practiced for 56 patients and had shown for 8 cases hepatic metastasis. The histopathological exam of the melanomata of ciliary and choroidal corpus had shown type A fusiform cells for 22 cases, type B for 43 cases, epithelioid cells for 6 cases and mixed type cells for 13 cases. The hepatic metastasis were epithelioid cells for all the cases and, for 2 cases there were with mixed type cells, It is necessary an active discovering of intraocular and episcleral malign tumours, for increasing the chance of an earlier diagnosis during a stadium that would be able to be treated as conservator as possible be.

Eye Neoplasms

[Current concepts in malignant glaucoma].

The paper reports on the main pathogenic types of anatomical blocking of the aqueous humor circulation in malignant glaucoma: pupillary, secondary iridolenticular, ciliovitreolenticular, iridociliovitreous blocks and in suprachoroidal effusion. The paper also presents some of the entities correlated with malignant glaucoma: glaucoma with blocked angle following the administration of miotics, traumatisms, the operations of scleral obstruction for retina detachment, panretinal photocoagulation and thrombosis of the retina central vein.

Acute Disease

[Primary malignant glaucoma].

The authors present two cases of classical unilateral malignant glaucomas, having at the congeneric eye, a chronic primary glaucoma with extremely advanced blocked angle. The evolution of these two cases might indicate the possibility of transforming the chronic primary glaucoma with blocked angle into a primitive malignant glaucoma (spontaneous). The probable dynamics of these changes is described.
