The Effect of Pneumoretinopexy on the Retinal Detachment with a Macular Hole.

Kyung Jik LIM ; Woong San CHOI ; Jaeheung LEE

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1992;33(7):639-641.

Fourteen eyes of retinal detachment with macular hole were treated with pneumoretinopexy on the outpatient basis. Under the retnbu1bar anesthesia, 0.2ml of perfluoropropane(C3F8) gas was injected into the subretinal fluid was aspirated with the same needle through the macular hole under the careful control by indirect ophthalmoscopy with temporal lying position. Average amount of subretinal fluid aspirated was 0.35ml (O.35-1.00ml) and retinal elevations were reattached after pneumoretinopexy and three of four failed patients agreed to reoperation were reattached after scleral buckling or vitrectomy. Postoperative complications after pneumoretinopexy were transient elevation of intraocular pressure (2/14 eyes) and new break formation (3/14 eyes). We think the pneumoretinopexy is a good choice of primary procedure for the retinal detachment with a macular hole because it is a simple procedure with a relatively good results.

A Case of Granular Cell Myoblastoma of the Orbit.

Yong Hwan PARK ; Byung Gyu PARK

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1987;28(6):1395-1399.

The authors experienced a case of orbital granular cell myoblastoma in a 22 year old female, which is extreamely rare. The tumor mass had grown since 6 years ago in her right orbit. On ocular examination, the right eye was proptosed and displaced out and upward. Extraocular movements showed slight limitation of adduction of the right eye. The computed tomographic scanning revealed well defined hypervascular mass density in the right orbit. The mass was removed by modifiedkronlein approach and histopathologic examination revealed it to have features typical of granular cell myoblastoma.

A Case of Sympathetic Ophthalmia.

Gi Ryong NAM ; Yoon Bo SHIM ; Bong Cheol KIM

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1987;28(6):1391-1394.

Sympathetic ophthalmia is a rare, diffuse, granulomatous inflammation of the entire uvea, usually bilateral, which occurs days, months, or years after penetrating ocular injury or intraocular surgery. This presented case was a 34 years old male patient injured his left eye suspecting a scleral laceration. The exciting eye(left) was eviscerated 8 days after injury and sympathetic eye(right) was developed sympathetic ophthalmia 8 weeks after injury. A brief review of the related literatures is presented.

Two Cases of Goldenhar's Syndrome.

Jong Hyeob LEE ; Sung Hee PARK ; Han Ho SHIN

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1987;28(6):1385-1389.

Goldenhar's syndrome is a rare congenital disorder consisting of epibulbar dermoids or lipodermoids, auricular appendages and skeletal anomalies. There are anomalies resulting from faulty development of the first and second branchial arches and the first branchial cleft. We have seen a female infant with coloboma of left upper eyelid, symblepharon, epibulbar dermoid and a young male with epibulbar dermoid and lipodermoid.

Han Seop SHIN ; Kuhl HUH

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1987;28(6):1379-1383.

The authors experienced a case of oculo-auriculo-vertebral syndrome(Goldenhar's syndrome) onsisting of epibulbar dermoid, preauricular appendages, pretragal blind fistula, and spina bifida in 16 year old girl. We are presenting the above case with reference to several literatures.

A Case of Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy.

Sung Gyun SHIN ; Ill Han YOON ; In Gun WON

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1987;28(6):1371-1377.

Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is the general term of disease causing visual disturbance by stenosis or obstruction of nutritional vessels of optic nerve with or without organic lesion. Patient was a 64 year old man who visited our hospital because of further evaluation of sudden visual loss and loss of lower visual field of left eye. In this case, it is observed that visual acuity of left eye was decreased suddenly and visual field of left eye was constricted on inferior area on 4 month after initial visit, visual acuity and visual field of right eye were affected. On the visual evoked potential, bilateral optic pathway disturbance finding is seen, faulty perfusion of the disc capillary and absence or decrease of the choroidal filling are seen by fluorescein angiography. Thus, anterior ischemic optic neuropathy is suspected by history, visual field, visual evoked potential and fluorescein angiography. This case was presented and a brief review of literatures has been described.

Clinical Observation on Reconstruction of the Contracted Anophthalmic Socket by the Dermis-fat Graft.

Jung Hyoo MOON ; Hyung Woo KWAK

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1987;28(6):1365-1370.

The various method have been used in reconstruction of the anophthalmic socket. Dermis-fat graft as an orbital implant is a relatively new approach. Dermis-fat graft restores the volume lost by enucleation, gives additional conjunctival lining and is permanent, with a minimal chance of absorption. Dermis-fat graft was used in reconstruction of an ophthalmic socket in our hospital. We found it successful procedure in case of primary enucleation, because it is permanent and it preserves the conjunctiva.

Typical and A typical Brown's Syndrome.

Eun Hee BAE ; Sang Jin KIM

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1987;28(6):1357-1363.

The superior oblique tendon sheath syndrome was first described by Brown(1950). The essential feature is a limitation of elevation in adduction caused by a short or inadequately mobile anterior segment of the superior oblique tendon and its sheath, which restricted passive elevation in the fully adducted position. Brown has subdivided the entity into true and simulated Brown's syndrome. True Brown's syndrome may be typical or atypical. Typically, there is no significant co-existing limitation of the homolateral superior rectus muscle; atypically there is a significant limitation. Numerous surgical techniques have been advocated to treat Brown's syndrome. Of these, a tenectomy of the homolateral superior oblique has emerged as the most effective method. The authors experienced two cases of Brown's syndrome, one is typical in 5 year old male patient, the other is atypical in 27 year old male patient. Excellent result was obtained in typical Brown's syndrome who underwent a tenectomy of the superior oblique, including the sheath.

A Case of Conjunctival Tuberculosis.

Gi Yong JUNG ; Bong Chul KIM ; Hanho SHIN

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1987;28(6):1351-1355.

Conjunctival tuberculosis, a very rare disease, is thought to be a relatively rare cause of ocular diseases. This is because of a decreased incidence of tuberculosis as well as lessened emphasis on its diagnosis. We have experienced a 19-years old female who had a injection and hypertrophic granulomatous inflammation, on the left lower palpebral conjunctiva. We performed excisional biopsy under the clinical diagnosis of the chronic conjunctivitis and confirmed the histopathological diagnosis of conjunctival tuberculosis. So, the literature of the conjunctival tuberculosis was briefly reviewed with clinical history.

Investigation for General Misconception on Eye Problems: II. False Descriptions about the Eye Problems on the Textbooks of Primary School, Middle School and High School.

Jin Hak LEE ; Sung Min HYUNG ; Dong Ho YOUN

Journal of the Korean Ophthalmological Society.1987;28(6):1343-1350.

To investigate general misconception on the eye problems, we have reported the misconception of students of middle school, high school and college for the first report. For its etiological study, we studied the false descriptions on the eye problems in the textbooks of primary school, middle school and high school. We found the false descriptions in terminology, causes of the myopia, contact lens and conjunctivitis(Trachoma). The result suggests that the main causes of misconception on the eye problems of students are the false descriptions on the textbooks of primary school, middle school and high school.
