[Bouchut tubercles and AIDS. Apropos of 3 cases].

Tuberculosis choroidal granulomas ("tubercules de Bouchut") are rare, even in patients with AIDS and active tuberculosis. The authors report the clinical and angiographical findings of three cases. Choroidal involvement was bilateral, with multiple lesions, mostly located at the posterior pole.

[A protocol for monitoring antimalarial treatment].

We are showing a protocol to survey the treatment by APS, with a computer equipment that enable us to examine very shortly the central field of vision and the ERG; but that least investigation can be EOG or a PEV, according to the toxic pathology we are studying.

[Use of nerve division in oculomotor paralysis].

Sectors have a double interest in an extraocular muscle palsy: to avoid the diplopia and to aid the reeducation of palsied muscles. Patient can alternatively wear the two types of glasses with sectors. Authors decrease sector's size when motility improves.

[Terson's syndrome. Apropos of 7 cases].

We studied seven cases of Terson's syndrome, in association with bleeding in the subarachnoid space caused by rupture of vascular malformation or cranial traumatism. The association of rapid increase of intracranial pressure with subarachnoid hemorrhage could explain the development of a Terson's syndrome. The retinal hemorrhages associated with the vitreous hemorrhage are variable in morphology and topography.

[Results of surgical treatment of alphabetical syndromes in esotropia. Apropos of 98 cases].

The authors report the results of 98 cases of esotropia treated by global surgery. They treated 72 "V" syndromes, 22 "A" syndromes and 4 cases without vertical incommitance but presenting visible hyperactivities of the oblique muscles. The alphabetical variations have been treated by weakening of the oblique muscles and sometimes have been treated by weakening of the oblique muscles and sometimes of the vertical recti which are part of the same torsional couple (inferior oblique - inferior rectus in the "V" syndrome, superior oblique - superior rectus in the "A" syndrome).

[Involvement of the posterior eye segment in HLA B27(+) iridocyclitis. Incidence. Value of surgical treatment].

46 patients with the association of acute anterior uveitis and the presence of HLA B27 antigen were studied. Ankylosing spondylitis was found in 19 patients (41.3%).

[A case of multiple epitheliopathy associated with sub-retinal neovascularization].

Gass described the acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy in 1968. The disturbance of visual function is generally temporary with subsequent recovery. We describe one case of peripapillary and macular neovascularization with decreasing visual acuity due to macular haemorrhage followed by a fibro-glial scar.

[Surgical treatment of eye wounds with retinochoroidal metal foreign bodies. Apropos of 6 cases].

Six cases of intra-ocular metallic foreign bodies located into the retino-choroidal wall are presented. A surgical treatment was performed, and included a vitrectomy, a foreign body extraction with intraocular forceps, a primary or a secondary scleral buckling for the peripheral wound, and a retino-choroidectomy for one of the posteriorly located foreign bodies. In all the cases, we observed a cicatricial retraction of the retino-choroidal wound.

[Chorioretinopathy caused by migration of caterpillar hairs. Apropos of 2 cases].

Caterpillars cause many ocular lesions by a pathogen agent coming from their coating: the hairs. These can enter into the eye ball and migrate in the ocular tissues; a secondary inflammatory reaction to the foreign body will appear. This reaction is due to the hairs themselves as foreign body, but also partly to their contents: a liquid toxin which contains proteins, lipids and other components.

[Favorable development of bilateral Candida albicans endophthalmitis. Value of early vitrectomy].

A chronic bilateral endogenous Candida albicans endophthalmitis in a heroin addict was treated by vitrectomy, argon laser photocoagulation and endodiathermy. In the left eye with a visual acuity of 6/6 there was a totally asymptomatic retinal tear due to vitreous traction. The eye was treated by argon laser photocoagulation immediately, and then underwent a vitrectomy several weeks later.

[Retinopexy by endodiathermocoagulation].

Retinopexy was performed by endodiathermy coagulation around a retinal tear provoked during dissection of epiretinal membranes. The dissection was a complement to vitrectomy for Candida albicans endophthalmia. The choice of this technique was dependent on the absence of need for the laser, and allowed an internal buffering to be carried out by the use of silicone oil.
