[Endophthalmitis due to Fusarium: an uncommon cause].

Fusarium pathogen is an uncommon cause of infections in ophthalmology. To our knowledge, there are few cases of isolated human endogenous endophthalmitis without concomitant immunodepression. An early diagnostics and therapy allowed an excellent functional recovery when compared to the reported cases in the literature.

[Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis].

In the last few years, the clinical features of Fuchs' heterochromic cyclitis (F.H.C.) have been more precisely defined. Furthermore, the actual concepts are still controversial. The main idea which has developed is the particular evolution of a chronic cyclitis with a congenital predisposition associated with an immunology feature.

[Ocular sarcoidosis].

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown origin that most commonly affects young adults. Ocular involvement occurs in about 30% of patients. Acute or chronic anterior uveitis are the most common ocular manifestations of sarcoidosis but all the ocular tissues can be involved. Diagnosis is based on several investigations which the most interesting are biopsy of sarcoid granuloma and bronchoalveolar lavage. Treatment is topical or systemic corticosteroid therapy.

[Does peripheral iridectomy increase the risk of retinal detachment in patients with aphakia or pseudophakia?].

A retrospective study of 107 cases of retinal detachment in aphakic and pseudophakic eyes showed different types of retinal break depending upon surgical method. Three techniques were studied: intracapsular extraction (ICCE), intracapsular extraction with anterior chamber lens implant (ICCE, AC-IOL), and extracapsular extraction with posterior chamber lens implant (ECCE, PC-IOL). Results were compared for each technique with and without peripheral iridectomy. Typical aphakic and pseudophakic retinal breaks were found only in eyes having undergone peripheral iridectomy: our conclusion is that peripheral iridectomy is a risk factor for typical retinal breaks.
