Orbital trauma and computed tomography.

Abstract

Because computed tomography visualizes most soft tissues, foreign bodies, and bone details, it is an important supplement to conventional radiography in evaluating orbital trauma. A series of eight cases is presented to demonstrate the value of computed tomography. Several special techniques that enhance the usefulness of computed tomographic scanning are described.

Uses and complications of mitomycin C in ophthalmology.

Mitomycin C is a chemotherapeutic agent that acts by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Its use and application in ophthalmology has been increasing in recent years because of its modulatory effects on wound healing. Current applications include pterygium surgery, glaucoma surgery, corneal refractive surgery, cicatricial eye disease, conjunctival neoplasia and allergic eye disease. Although it has been used successfully in these conditions, it has also been associated with significant complications. This article reviews the current trends and uses of mitomycin C in the eye and its reported complications.
