Clinical Evaluations of Complications Following Posterior Chamber Lens Insertion in Eyes with Posterior Capsular Rupture

To evaluate the complications of the analysed posterior chamber lens insertion in eyes with posterior capsule rupture during catatact surgery, we retrospectively the ocular complications of 31 eyes having PCL with ruptured posterior capsule between June 1989 and June 1992. With a mean follow up of 11.5 months, the best corrected postoperative visual acuity of 20/40 or better was achieved in 77.5% of the 31 cases. The early postoperative complication was posterior chamber lens dislocation(12.9%). The late postoperative complication were clinical cystoid macular edema(12.9%), angiographic cystoid macular edema(12.9%), vitreous opacity(6.5%) and after-cataract(3.3%). We suggest this result was tolerable when posterior capsule rupture was properly managed.

Clinical Evaluations of Dermoid in External Eye

We conducted a retrospective study of 19 patients(21 eyes) that were confirmed as dermoid by pathologic study, from July, 1987 to June. 1992 at St. Mary's Hospital. Catholic University Medical College. The follow-up period was at least over 6 months We studied on age and sex distribution of the patients, site and portion of involvement and postoperative complications. The most frequent involved age was below 9 years of age(8 patients, 42.0%). The most common site of involvement was the conjunctiva(10 eyes, 47.6%). The most frequent involvement portion was inferiotemporal portion(15 eyes, 71.4%) We did not find any recurrence or remarkable postoperative complications.

A Case of Moyamoya Disease with Right Homonymous Hemianopsia

The cause of Moyamoya disease remains unknown, and theories of inflammatory and immunologic pathophysiological mechanisms remain unproven. Moyamoya disease characterized by angiographic findings of intracranial carotid artery stenosis and occlusion, resulting in brain hemorrhage. We experienced that a 32-year-old female patient whose complaint was a suddenly developed occipital headache, decreased vision and visual field defect, and performed transfemoral 4-vessel angiography and magnetic resonance image (MRI). It was defined as Moyamoya disease. So we report a case of Moyamoya disease with right homonymous hemianopsia.
