[Retinal lymphoma--simulating uveitis].

A rare form of malignant large-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or reticulum cell sarcoma is confined to the eye and central nervous system (CNS). We report the case of a 62-year-old man, who presented with recalcitrant progressive uveitis in his right eye. Although lymphoma was suspected, the patient refused to undergo vitrectomy.

[Computed perimetry for the follow-up of optic neuropathy in pseudotumor cerebri].

Computerized static perimetry must be regarded as the method of choice for monitoring the course of optic neuropathy in cases of pseudotumor cerebri. A discrete peripheral visual field depression is the first sign of optic nerve damage. If cranial hypertension persists the visual field depression gradually spreads toward the center.

[Fibrin gluing of the extraocular eye muscles. Experimental use in the rabbit].

An experimental animal study was conducted to determine whether fibrin glue could be used in strabismus surgery (recession, resection, and muscular neurotization). Fibrin glue was used in place of some or all of the commonly used 7-0 Vicryl sutures. In order to evaluate the adhesion of the fibrin glue the rabbits' eyes were enucleated 10-67 days after surgery, fixed in 8% formalin solution and then histologically examined.

[Digital dacryocystography].

The technique of conventional dacryocystography has recently been improved and extended by utilizing new technological developments. Digital dacryocystography, performed with computer-controlled X-ray equipment with a C-arc, and coupled to an image intensifier-TV system, enables the passage of the contrast medium to be observed, the image to be enlarged to any desired size, and also offers the advantages of digital subtraction angiography. A great deal of diagnostic information is thus obtained, making precise localization of stenoses of the lacrimal pathways possible.
