[Paraffin granuloma of the lower lid].

A young man developed a solid tumor of the lower eyelid, which histological studies showed to be a paraffinoma. Two years before the first manifestation a dacryocystitis had been treated by probing and injection of antibiotic ointment into the lacrimal drainage system. Since paraffin is a constituent of most ointments, the possibility of a granulomatous reaction should be considered if the ointment containing paraffin is introduced into the subcutaneous tissue.

[Merkel cell carcinoma of the upper eyelid].

Case report of a rare eyelid tumor in an 83-year-old woman. The excised lesion was classified as a neuroendocrine Merkel cell carcinoma on the basis of histologic, ultrastructural, and immunohistochemical examination. Detection of neurosecretory granules by electron microscopy and the characteristic cytokeratin and neurofilament pattern supported the diagnosis. The patient developed a local recurrence, which was successfully removed. There is no evidence of regional or distant metastases.

[Echographic diagnosis in diseases of the efferent tear ducts].

We report the results of our echographic examinations of 250 patients with diseases of the lacrimal drainage system. First, normal A- and B-scan pictures are presented. Then the echographic criteria of malformations (persistence of the valve of Hasner, dacryocystocele), dacryocystitis and its complications (fistula, membrane-formation, stenosis) are discussed. The possibility of pre- and postoperative controls with echography is stressed. Tumors of the lacrimal sac can also easily be detected.

[Effect of forskolin eyedrops on intraocular pressure in healthy males].

Suspensions of Forskolin in concentrations of 0.3; 0.6; and 1.0% decreased effectively the intraocular pressure of healthy subjects when instillated in the conjunctival sac. The suspensions were compared with placebo in double blind studies. The maximum effect was reached 3 hours after application of the 0.3% (22.8%) and 0.6% (27.8%) suspensions and 4 hours after the 1.0% (26.5%) suspension. The higher concentrations decreased the intraocular pressure to the same extent as the lowest concentration but the effect lasted longer: 4 hours after instillation of the 0.3% suspension, 5 hours after instillation of the 0.6% suspension and 7 hours after the 1.0% suspension. The suspensions were well tolerated. Subjective sensations like burning, itching and augmentated lacrimation were observed only in a minor amount and for a short period of time.
