Aminocaproic acid treatment of recurrent postoperative hyphemas.

Three patients were treated with aminocaproic acid for medically uncontrolled hyphemas that developed after cataract extractions. In all three patients the bleeding stopped after a course of aminocaproic acid was begun. This happened despite a very short course of therapy in two patients. All three patients had to have treatment discontinued because of side effects, in part contributed to by preexisting medical problems, appeared.

Fusarium solani endophthalmitis without primary corneal involvement.

A 45-year-old woman developed a fungal endophthalmitis caused by Fusarium solani. No primary corneal lesion existed. Therefore, the focus of infection was considered endogenous. Although disseminated systemic infections with Fusarium species have been described in compromised hosts, including a patient with metastatic panophthalmitis, we believe this is the first report of an endogenous endophthalmitis caused by F. solani in a healthy individual.

Contusion angle deformity in prizefighters.

Ophthalmic examinations of 55 retired boxers showed nine eyes with contusion angle deformities and no cases of secondary glaucoma due to the trauma, despite an average duration of 33 years since injury. The subjects with chamber angle recessions had more proptotic eyes (average, 19.7 mm) than those without recessions (average, 17.9 mm). The difference between the means was not significant (P less than .05).

Bilateral amyloidosis of the vitreous body: report of a case without systemic of familial involvement.

Amyloidosis of the vitreous body is an uncommon and often misdiagnosed condition that causes progressive visual loss. It is usually associated with primary familial systemic amyloidosis. The patient described in this report has amyloidosis of both vitreous bodies; her case is unusual because no other family members are affected and because there has been no evidence of systemic involvement over a seven-year observation period. After part of the vitreous body of her right eye was removed surgically, visual acuity improved from light perception to 20/60. New concepts regarding the nature, classification, and histochemical identification of amyloid are discussed.
