["Blow-out" orbital trauma and diplopia. Conservative or surgical approach?].

The treatment of orbital fractures, type blow-out, has always been discussed about. One hundred-twenty patients, subdivided in four groups were examined. Incarceration of the peri-muscular structures or not. Surgical or conservative treatment. These four groups have been studied with the purpose of establishing a treatment plan, which implicated the different time of healing up to a complete and functional recovery. Our purpose is to explain why we suggest a conservative attitude and the necessity of proceeding with radiological screening along with an examination of the binocular eyesight.

[Endophthalmitis and pseudophakia].

The authors describe seven cases of endophthalmitis following cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. The patients were treated with antibiotics together with mydriatics or with mydriatics and antiinflammatory medication only. Rapid healing of the endophthalmitis was observed in both series, with good restitution of visual acuity. According to various articles on this complication, approximately 75% of the aqueous humor samples taken are bacteriologically positive. The present authors therefore took samples of aqueous humor intraoperatively in randomly chosen cases, in order to establish whether there were any false-positive results due to external contamination. A brief review of the literature is presented.
