[Differential diagnosis between retinoblastoma and ocular toxocariasis].

We studied the sensitivity for Toxocara Canis (ELISA technique) in 5 cases of retinoblastoma confirmed by anatomopathological examination. Some presented with a positive reaction in serum and/or in aqueous. Now that surgical technique are available that permit to functionally save eyes affected by toxocariasis, we felt that a safe and reliable differential diagnosis between toxocariasis and retinoblastoma is of major importance.

[Robinow's syndrome with dominant transmission].

Robinow syndrome in a mother and her 2nd male infant. Clinical and radiological findings were characteristic of this condition. Hands and spine were normal in the proband, but humerus were short.

Iris angiography and aqueous photofluorometry in normal subjects.

Iris angiography and photofluorometry of the aqueous were performed on 44 normal subjects equally distributed between 15 and 65 years of age. Hemoglobin AIc determinations were performed in 20 of these persons. Leakage from the pupillary margin was present in 20% of the eyes studied.
