1.Treatment of Neovaseular Glaucoma Using Modified Schocket Implant.
Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society 1993;34(12):1293-1299
Seven eyes of 7 patients had undergone modified Schocketimplant surgery for neovascular glaucoma. The mean preoperative intraocular pressure(IOP) was 49.1 +/- 10.1 mmHg(range 38 to 70 mmHg). With a follow up of 6 to 18 monnths, the mean postoperative IOP was 20.3+/-5.1 mmHg(range 16 to 30 mmHg). The author's personal method to make two oblique valve incisions on the obliterated distal end of the draining silicone tube, prevented early postoperative complications(flat anterior chamber and hypo-tony). The one oblique incision on silicone tube turned into a open valve at a pressure between 17.3 and 21.6 mmHg(average 19.3 mmHg) and two oblique incisions opened at a oblique incisions seemed to be more available for pressure sensitive valve. The complications included minimal hyphema(4 eyes) and progression of cataract(1 eye). Modified Schocket implant are an effective and simple technique in the management of neovascular glaucoma.

Cystadenomas are benign neoplasm in which the epithelium demonstrates adenomatous proliferation. Several morphologic variants of cystadenomas have bean described, including papillary-oncocytic, mucous, and seromucous subtypes. Cystadenomas arising from salivary glands are very rare and seromucous cystadenoma of parotid gland has not been reported in Korea so far. Cystadenomas of the parotid gland usually Present as asymptomatic slowly growing mass and those of the minor salivary glands produce smooth nodules that may be compressible. We performed a superficial parotidectomy in a patient with a seromucous cystadenoma. This may be the first report of seromucous cystadenoma of carotid gland in Korea.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the MR findings of childhood adrenoleukodystrophy regarding the extent of white matter degeneration and the pattern of enhancement, and to correlate these findings with clinical manifestations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six male patients (5-13 years old;mean age, 8.7 years) of biochemically confirmed adrenoleukodystrophy were included in this study. We evaluated the extent of white matter degeneration which was shown as high signal intensity on T2-weighted image, and the pattern of enhancement. Also we correlated the MR findings with clinical manifestations of symptoms and the results of evoked potential studies. RESULTS:The most common sites of predominant involvement were occipital deep white matter, optic radiation, and splenium of corpus callosum (n = 4, 66.7%). The other sites of predominant involvement were frontal deep white matter (n = 1, 16.7%) and pyramidal tract with cerebellum (n = 1, 16.7%). After contrast enhancement, there was peripheral rim enhancement surrounding the most severely affected areas in five cases (83. 3%). These findings were consistent with clinical symptoms in five cases (83.3%), but the results of evoked potential studies were consistent with clinical symptoms in only two cases (33.3%). CONCLUSION:In childhood adrenoleukodystrophy, MRI can clearly demonstrate specific tracts of involvement and these findings were well correlated with clinical manifestations.

PURPOSE: Goggles are frequently worn in the sport of swimming and are designed to form a seal around the periorbital tissue orbit. The resultant pressure on the eye may have the potential to affect intraocular pressure and blood flow of the optic nerve head. This study evaluates the influence of wearing swimming goggles on intraocular pressure (IOP) and blood flow of the ocular nerve head (ONH) in normal subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty healthy participants took part in this study. The IOP of each participant was measured using a Goldmann tonometer. Measurements were taken immediately before putting on swimming goggles, at 5, 10, 30, and 60 minutes after putting on swimming goggles, and then immediately after taking off the goggles. Blood flow of the ONH was measured using the Heidelberg retinal flowmeter. RESULTS: The average IOP before, during and after wearing the swimming goggles were 11.88 +/- 2.82mmHg, 14.20 +/- 2.81 mmHg and 11.78 +/- 2.89mmHg, respectively. The IOP increased immediately after putting on the goggles (p < 0.05) and then returned to normal values immediately after removal (p > 0.05). Blood flow of the ONH was 336.60 +/- 89.07 Arbitrary Units (AU) before and 319.18 +/- 96.02 AU after the goggles were worn (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: A small but significant IOP elevation was observed immediately after the swimming goggles were put on. This elevated IOP was maintained while the goggles were kept on, and then returned to normal levels as soon as they were taken off. Blood flow of the ONH did not change significantly throughout the experiment. These facts should be considered for safety concerns, especially in advanced glaucoma patients.
