PURPOSE: Racemose hemangiomas of the retina are rare developmental vascular anomalies with abnormal arteriovenous anastomoses. We report our observations of a retinal racemose hemangioma with marked dilation and tortuosity of the retinal vessels in the entire left retina. METHODS: In a 9-year-old boy with loss of vision and mild esotropia who presented with hugely dilated and tortuous retinal vessels in left retina, we examined fundus, fluorescein angiography, cerebral angiography, brain CT and MRI. RESULTS: Fundus and fluorescein angiography of the left eye showed marked dilation and tortuosity of the retinal vessels. Angiographic finding showed rapid filling of all vessels and no dye leakage. MRI finding revealed small tortuous vessels around left optic nerve, optic chiasm and tract. Brain CT and cerebral angiography showed nothing abnormal.

In 38 patients with traumatic wound dehiscence after cataract surgery, we evaluated the causes and degrees of the injury, surgical methods of repair and the final visual outcome from Aug. 1993 to Apr. 1977. Among 38 patients, twenty-five were men and thirteen were women. In 34 patients, wound dehiscence occurred within one month after cataract surgery. The common causes of wound dehiscence were trauma by the finger or fist (9 patients) and by the contusion (7 patients). But in 16 patients, the exact causes of trauma were not identified. Accompanied ocular findings were prolapsed iris (29 patients) , hyphema (9 patients) , and dislocation of intraocular lens (7 patients). All patients received operations for wound closure, iris reposition, anterior vitrectomy, intraocular lens reposition or removal, and iris partial resection. At the end of follow-up, 27 patients achieved corrected visual acuity 20/40 or over. To prevent wound dehiscence after cataract surgery, we suggest that protective eye shield should be applied at least for a month after surgery.
