Sturge- Weber syndrome is a congenital disorder and marked by cutaneous angiomatosis along the distribution of the trigeminal nerve, ipsilateral leptomeningeal angiomatosis, bupthalmos and choroidal angioma. A 22 year old Korean woman was found to have red-purple colored pigmentation on the left hemifacial area, the left leptomeningeal angioma and the left openangle glaucoma.

We analysed 265 eyes (242 cases) of perforating ocular injuries who were admitted to Wonju Christian Hospital during the period from March 1983 to February 1988. Of 265 eyes(242 cases) with perforating ocular injuries repaired during this period, no eyes(41.5%) were excluded from this study due to incomplete charting(86 eyes), complication with intraocular foreign bodies(13 eyes) and including in this study. The most significant predictors of good visual outcome were good initial visual acuity and the length of ocualr laceration. But the others were not statistical significant predictors of visual outcome(direction and location of laceration, etc). Lacerations involving only the cornea were the most frequent(53.2%). The most common cause of low vision(=0.1) was traumatic cataract(47 cases) and followed by corneal opacity(42 cases). The statistical analysis of this report was based on a chi-squre test and correlation.

The meibomian gland adenocarcinoma is very rare and lethal tumor of the eyelid. The upper eyelid is more often affected than the lower eyelid. Clinical feature of this tumor is that it may masquerade as a chalazion or chronic blepharoconjunctivitis for many months before the true diagnosis is established. Treatment of the consists of surgical removal and radiation therapy. The authors have experienced a case of meibomian gland adenocarcinoma which had recurred after two chalazion surgeries at a local clinic in the left lower eyelid of a 61-year-old korean female. The tumor was excised surgically with reconstruction of the lid defect by modified Hughes procedure and was found to be a adenocarcinoma of the meibomian gland histopathologically.
