Cystic intranasal masses were found in seven newborn infants with congenital dacryocystocele. The cysts were a direct extension of the nasolacrimal duct, located beneath the inferior turbinate. Nasal obstruction was present in three infants and was severe enough to cause respiratory distress in two neonates with bilateral cysts. Using fiberoptic nasal endoscopy, treatment consisting of probing, irrigation, and marsupialization of the cysts was successful in all infants. The authors believe this rarely reported anomaly is a more common finding in dacryocystocele than previously recognized and advocate careful nasal examination in all infants with congenital dacryocystocele. Early diagnosis and treatment of this condition is critical in the infant with nasal obstruction.

A 7 1/2-year-old girl was found to have clinical evidence of Marfan's syndrome associated with abnormalities of the anterior segment, including a prominent, anteriorly displaced Schwalbe's line with iris attachments and iris hypoplasia. The unusual association of Marfan's syndrome and Rieger's anomaly is discussed.

A 3-year survey was conducted of all children with eye injuries admitted to Wills Eye Hospital to determine demographic, etiologic, and prophylactic factors. There were 278 cases, representing 22% of all ocular injuries in children requiring admission. The frequency of childhood ocular injuries is high, often resulting in serious visual impairment. Many of these injuries are preventable. The causes of pediatric eye injuries and preventive measures are discussed.

Sixteen patients with moderate angle esotropia of 30 to 35 prism dioptres were treated with a unilateral medial rectus muscle recession of 6 or 6.5 mm. Thirteen of sixteen patients (80%) were straight postoperatively or had 12 prism dioptres or less of esotropia. Three of the 16 had greater than 12 prism dioptres of esotropia, and none were exotropic. This procedure should be considered as an alternative approach in the treatment of moderate angle esotropia.
