[Mesenteric ischemia in hemodialyzed patients].

Objectives: Mesenteric ischemia is uncommon in the general population but is frequently encountered in chronic hemodialysis patients. We present here four cases which occurred in our unit within one year while only six cases had been observed in the preceding twenty years.

Observations: Four chronic hemodialysis patients (age: 57 to 76 years) with renal failure due to diffuse atheromatous disease, presented non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia.

[Ophthalmologic manifestations of dialysis. Retrospective study on 81 patients].

In this work, we looked at the results of a retrospective study carried out in our unit on the ocular manifestations in the dialysed chronic renal failure patient. Eighty-one of our 189 patients had an ophtalmic examination. Thirty-six showed a retinopathy, 26 suffered from a corneoconjunctival alterations, 19 from a cataract, 6 a vascular thrombosis, 4 a glaucoma and one motor-ocular paralysis.
