[Hemangioma of the choroid with extra-scleral extension].

We report a case of atypical circumscribed choroidal hemangioma with retinal detachment in a 41-year-old man referred with the diagnosis of Harada disease. B. Scan ultrasonography showed an hyperechogenic area extended through the sclera.

[Rupture of the hemato-ocular barrier, studied by fluorophotometry, in uveal melanoma patients. Preliminary results].

Purpose: To evaluate the use of intravenous vitreous fluorophotometry in assessment of the blood-aqueous barrier in eyes with uveal melanoma.

Method: Vitreous fluorophotometry was performed before treatment in 14 patients with uveal melanoma. Both eyes of patients were examined, and fifteen control healthy patients were examined between November 1996 and December 1996 at the department of ophthalmology of Bicêtre hospital.

[Toxoplasmic chorioretinitis complicated by retinal detachment].

Purpose: To describe and analyse relationship between chorioretinal toxoplasmosis and retinal detachment.

Patients And Methods: Seven immunocompetent patients examined and treated between November 1992 and March 1996, with ocular toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis and retinal detachment.

Results: Of the 7 patients examined, 5 had active retinochoroiditis and 2 had typical inactive scars.

[Solitary oligodendroglioma of the optic nerve. Apropos of a case].

Proptosis, decreased vision and oculo-motor palsies developed in the left eye of a 14-year-old girl, without neurofibromatosis signs. Computed tomographic (CT) Scans of the head and orbit showed a large fusiform expansion of the left optic nerve without intracranial involvement. Magnetic resonance imaging improved contrast resolution over CT Scanning.

[Uveitis with hypopyon in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, treated with Rifabutin].

Background: Iridocyclitis has been identified as a dosage-dependent side effect in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who are treated for Mycobacterium avium complex infections with systemic Rifabutin. We reviewed cases of acute hypopyon uveitis occurring in patients with AIDS to establish whether there was an association or not.

Methods: All patients were referred by an infection disease specialty service for complete ophthamological evaluation and ancillary laboratory.

[Madarosis and alopecia areata of eyelashes].

We presented the clinical features of a 9-year-old girl and a 52-year-old man with alopecia areata of eyelashes. Alopecia areata refers to the idiopathic lesions of the eyelashes and is generally classified as being partial, total or universal.
