[Idiopathic hypereosinophilia syndrome].

The author describes a case of rare idiopathic hypereosinophilia demonstrated by a 26 years old man. General symptoms were founded 4 years before and now disease takes a progressive course including a rapid decrease of visual functions. Several alterations of organic findings were also found in heart, liver, lung, spleen and brain.

[Neuro-ophthalmologic findings following cerebral tumor excision in relation to topography and morphology].

The secured significance of position and extent of a cerebral tumour as well as its biological dignity with respect to the kind and frequency of the neuro-ophthalmological findings was the starting point of these investigations. In this retrospective study the findings of visual acuity, visual field and papillae of 204 patients operated on the cerebrum were determined and the significance of the morphological factors (position and size of the defect of the cerebral parenchyma, extent of the cerebral ventricles, degree of the cortical atrophy, influence of dignity) for the persisting ophthalmological deficiency phenomena was pointed out.

[Clinical, secretory and immunologic studies in Terrien disease].

The present paper begins with a description of the clinical picture of Terrien's disease. Using radionuclide dacryography (RND) to determine secretion, reduced tear secretion was found unilaterally in four patients and bilaterally in one (as indicated by the half-lives of the conjunctival drainage curves). In four patients RND failed to reveal any reduction in tear secretion on either side.

[Neuropsychiatric-ophthalmologic and radiologic findings in sphenoid wing meningioma].

On the basis of 90 catamnestically pursued disease courses of surgically treated sphenoid bone wing meningioma of the years 1970 to 1987 the validity of the clinical-neuropsychiatric and neuro-ophthalmological examinations as well as the information value of the native X-ray pictures were ascertained. The aim of the work was to point out the possibility and necessity of an early clinical diagnosis by an intensified observation of the neuro-ophthalmological and neuro-psychiatric primary symptoms.
