ABSTRACT
Ultrasonograms were obtained from 27 cases of intraocular and 10 cases of orbital diseases with S.K.L containing a general transducer(A-mode), 1~3 MHz in its frequency and 15mm in its diameter. The authors summerized that these ultrasonograms would provide some benefits in supplementary clinical diagnosis, especially in confirming the presence of intraocular tumors, differential diagnosis of primary and secondary retinal detachment and deciding the location and surgical procedure preoperatively in the orbital tumors.

The authors analyzed the results of operation in 88 eyes of traumatic cataract for recent 5 years at Busan National University Hospital. The follow up study was at least 3 months up to 3 years. The results were as follows; 1. The incidence of traumatic cataract was 8.2% of all ocular injuries. 2. The main cause of traumatic cataract was flying objects (44.8%) and sharp material(33.3%). 3. The major causes of decreased visual acuity after operation were corneal opacity (36.4). after cataract (22.8%). and vitreous opacity (21.6%).

The authors reported clinical review of 85 cases of benign tumors of the eye and its adnexa diagnosed histopathologically for last 15 years at Department of Ophthalmology, Busan National University Hospital. The followings were summarized. 1. The occurence of benign tumors of the eye and its adnexa by age was frequent under 3rd decade but no sexual differences were found. 2. The benign tumors in the eye and its adnexa were frequently involved eye lids (33 cases, 38.8%), orbit (25 cases, 29.4%) and conjunctiva (19 cases, 22.4%) in erder. 3. The frequency of occurence of benign tumors in the eye and its adnexa was dermoid cyst (18 cases, 21.2%), hemangioma (12 cases, 14.1%), cysticercosis and nevus (9 cases, 10.6% in each) and pseudotumor (5 cases, 5.9 %) in order. In addition, 3 rare benign tumors in the ocular adnexa, such as an epibulbar osseous choristoma in the subconjunctiva, a benign mixed tumor originated from medial canthal eccrine gland and hemangioendothelioma located in the eye lid were presented.
