Spontaneous ruptures in Descemet's membrane in Terrien's degeneration can result in a corneal intralamellar pocket of fluid. We present a case and discuss its management.

Area of visual field and colour discrimination were assessed in 167 eyes with ocular hypertension (from 100 women and 67 men with a mean age of 59.8 +/- 11.3 years). The patients were then followed for 3 years. During the follow-up period chronic open-angle glaucoma was diagnosed in 8 (8%) of the 100 eyes with a normal visual field and normal colour discrimination, 7 (14%) of the 50 eyes with a subnormal visual field or subnormal colour discrimination, and 17 (100%) of the 17 eyes with both a subnormal visual field and subnormal colour discrimination, a total of 32 eyes (19%). Our results suggest that chronic open-angle glaucoma develops early in ocular hypertensive eyes in which both the visual field and colour discrimination are subnormal. Glaucoma may not develop at all in eyes with normal values.
We describe a patient in whom left orbital pseudotumour developed on two occasions 10 years apart. Treatment with oral corticosteroids produced dramatic recovery on both occasions.
