Despite the proven benefit of cryotherapy in the management of threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), it was shown leading to ocular adverse effects. A male infant was born at 28 week of gestation with a birth weight of 1200 g. Serial examinations revealed worsening ROP in both eyes until he reached a high risk pre-threshold ROP in his right eye and threshold ROP in his left eye. Cryotherapy was performed for the threshold ROP in the left eye while the right eye was subjected to further observation. Subsequently, ROP in both eyes regressed without cicatrisation. The patient was followedup over 8 years and refractions showed that the treated eye developed steadily increasing myopia while the untreated eye remained emmetropic. This case demonstrated the detrimental effect of cryotherapy to the treated eye leading to the progressive myopia as the child grew.

Although the reports of the use of crotherapy in the control of the proliferative phase of retinopathy of prematurity varied in their conclusions regarding the merits and limitations of this therapy, cryotherapy has been consedered to be an effective treatment for retinopathy stage 3. The accepted method of therapy includes ablation of the whole avascular retina from the ridge to the ora serrata. This is achieved by 2 to 3 rows of cryoapplications with use of cryotherapy probe for ROP. Nissenkorn et al presented their new method of cryotherapy in which only one row of cryoapplications was applied in the avascular retina anterior to the fibrovascular ridge. So, we performed cryotherapy using Nessenkorn's new method on 7 babies and the anatomical results are reviewed. Complete regression of active retinopathy was achieved in all of the eyes treated.

Bronchial carcinoid tumors are relatively uncommon neoplasms that are considered to be malignant tumors of low to intermediate grade. They are classified by pathologic features as typical or atypical carcinoids and have distinctly different prognoses and therapeutic options. Surgery is the treatment of choice in typical and atypical carcinoid tumors but the approach has been changing. Recently, several studies have described experiences using other technologies as adjuncts to bronchoscopic resection, technologies such as laser and cryotherapy with curative intent in endoluminal typical carcinoids. Here we present a case of atypical bronchial carcinoid that was treated with bronchoscopic cryotherapy.
