A Case of Adenoma of Nonpigmented Ciliary Epithelium

Acquired tumors of the nonpigmented ciliary epithelium are rare diseases. They are difficult to diagnose and present as pseudoadenomatous hyperplasia, adenoma or adenocarcinoma. They exhibit slowly progressive enlargement leading to a subluxated lens, cataract, and secondary glaucoma. And some of the more malignant tumors may extend extrasclerally. We report a case of adenoma of nonpigmented ciliary epithelium which produced a cataract.

Bilateral Innervations to Superior Oblique by Trochlear Nucleus in cats: Retrograde Tracer Study by Horseradish Peroxidase

Trochlear motorneurons were identified by applying horseradish peroxidase(HRP) to superior oblique muscle in cats. Ninety five to ninety seven percent of the contralateral trochlear nucleus were stained 3-5% of ipsilateral side also labelled by HRP. These findings showed that superior oblique muscle was innervated by trochlear nuclei on both side.

Changes of Blood Pressure in Cataract Surgery

The cataract surgery is most common among the major eye operations and nearly almost has been performed under local anesthesia. We has been censidered that emotional condition of patient during operation and the blood pressure is variable according to emotional condition. So, in order to evaluate the relationship of blood pressure change during operation and complication of cataract surgery, we began this survey. From Dec. 1979 'to Dec. 1980, we had collected the 70 cases that were performed lens extraction under the local anestbesia (retrobulbar injection and akinesia with 2% lidocaine) at our oph. department. The 70 cases were observed in the respect of B.P. change before, during and after operation. 1. Of the 70 cases, 21 cases (30%) were resulted in increased B.P.. 2. There are 4 cases (6%) that were increased B.P. over 20 mmHg. 3. There was no complication due to increased RP..

Two Cases of Giant Corneal Dermoids

Dermoid is a kind of choristoma and rare congenital benign tumor. It is ugly in appearance and especially dermoid appears at corneal limbus. The above 2 cases which we report invade cornea and it is especially giant compared with the report which has been reported untill now.

Clinical Studies of Aphakic Corrections

There are three different kinds of aphakic corrections as glasses, contact lens and intraocular lens. In this paper we analyse the 20 aphakic patients who had operations during the past four years in our hospital by the intracapsular cataract extraction technique. 10 patients(50%) are using aphakic glasses and 8 patients(40%) are contact lens wearers and remained 2 person are non-corrected monocular aphakics. Among the CL wearers most of them have occupations. Glass wearers are increased in number parallel with the increasing their ages. Most of the aphakic patients have good visual corrections and satisfied with their present corrective measures.
