1/16. Severe subconjunctival haemorrhage associated with malaria.

    PURPOSE: To describe a patient with sudden onset of subconjunctival haemorrhage related to malaria. methods: A case report. RESULTS: The patient, who had a history of malaria, had bilateral subconjunctival haemorrhages. General examination showed no abnormality except malaria. All signs of conjunctival haemorrhages resolved later. CONCLUSION: Ocular malaria should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subconjunctival haemorrhages.

2/16. Management of acute surgical orbital haemorrhage: an otorhinolaryngological and ophthalmological perspective.

    This retrospective report describes the management and outcome of seven patients who suffered an acute surgical orbital haemorrhage (ASOH), secondary to a surgical procedure performed on either the sinuses, orbits or eyelids. All patients but one recovered their pre-operative vision. A management plan is outlined on how to assess and tackle this complication, so that the ENT surgeon may be better prepared to meet such an acute surgical emergency, should it arise.

3/16. Chronic hyposphagma revealing primary ocular amyloidosis.

    BACKGROUND: amyloidosis is an extracellular accumulation of a clear substance called amyloid in different organs. Fragments of identical proteinic chains are the components of this substance. amyloidosis can be primary, secondary (chronic inflammation, multiple myeloma, tumour), senile or hereditary. history AND SIGNS: A 59-year-old healthy patient was referred with recurrent subconjunctival haemorrhages in his right eye since one year. The clinical examination disclosed the presence of yellowish subconjunctival deposits associated with haemorrhages. THERAPY AND OUTCOME: Histopathologic examination of these deposits revealed the presence of amyloid. A complete work-up to exclude a systemic disease gave negative results. CONCLUSIONS: Primary conjunctival amyloidosis is a rare clinical entity that is mainly diagnosed histopathologically. In the presence of a recurrent hyposphagma of unknown aetiology the diagnosis of amyloidosis should be excluded.

4/16. Intra-ocular haemorrhage, a frequent complication of acute promyelocytic leukaemia.

    We have found a high incidence of ocular haemorrhage in patients with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL). We describe a series of seven consecutive cases of APL, five of which developed ocular haemorrhage. There were no consistent detectable abnormalities in coagulation predictive of ocular damage. Ocular haemorrhage occurred despite the use of aggressive blood product support and its incidence was not altered by the use of the anti fibrinolytic agent tranexamic acid or by the use of heparin. Complete spontaneous resolution of the ocular pathology occurred in three of the five cases of ocular haemorrhage and partial recovery occurred in one. The fifth patient required surgical intervention. The mechanisms underlying the coagulopathy associated with APL are poorly understood. We discuss the evidence in support of primary disseminated intravascular coagulation and primary fibrinolysis. A logical approach to the management of the bleeding complications in APL can only follow greater understanding of the underlying pathophysiology.

5/16. Spontaneous inferior subconjunctival haemorrhages in association with circumferential drainage blebs.

    AIM: To describe an association of spontaneous inferior subconjunctival haemorrhages in eyes with circumferential drainage blebs following trabeculectomy. methods: Observational case series. patients with multiple episodes of spontaneous inferior subconjunctival haemorrhage following trabeculectomy (with or without antimetabolite) and circumferential blebs are presented. All patients described had multiple episodes. A possible mechanism is discussed. RESULTS: The number of spontaneous haemorrhages ranged from two to more than 10. All individual haemorrhages resolved spontaneously without adverse sequelae CONCLUSIONS: A new clinical presentation of inferior subconjunctival haemorrhage in association with circumferential blebs is described.

6/16. Usefulness of post-mortem ophthalmological endoscopy during forensic autopsy: a case report.

    Post-mortem intraocular findings in two autopsy cases with traumatic intracranial haemorrhage were obtained using an ophthalmological endoscope. The endoscopy results clearly revealed the presence of intraocular haemorrhages and papilledema caused by intracranial haemorrhage. Post-mortem ophthalmological endoscopy offers several benefits. First, post-mortem intraocular findings can be directly observed in corpses with post-mortem clouding of the cornea. Secondly, the endoscopy only requires a 0.9 mm incision in the sclera and does not require the removal of the eye from the corpse, a procedure that should be avoided for ethical and cosmetic reasons. Thus, post-mortem opthalmological endoscopy is a useful method for obtaining intraocular findings in autopsies.

7/16. An uncommonly serious case of an uncommon sport injury.

    BACKGROUND: A 55 year old man sustained a severe ocular injury when hit by a cricket ball even though he was wearing a helmet. methods: A suprachoroidal haemorrhage was drained and dense intravitreal blood was removed. An inferior buckle was applied with the use of intraocular gas. A macular haemorrhage resolved slowly. RESULTS: Despite several surgical procedures over 1.5 years, the final visual acuity of the patient was only 6/60 because of a dense macular scar. CONCLUSIONS: Helmets worn as protection when playing cricket need to be designed better and be of better material. Eye protection should be worn at all levels of play.

8/16. Optic disc haemorrhages in posterior vitreous detachment.

    Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a common clinical entity but is not often associated with a significant ocular disorder. Optic disc haemorrhages are rarely associated with a PVD and are more commonly associated with other local or systemic disease. The symptoms of a PVD, combined with a careful examination of the vitreoretinal interface allows a confident diagnosis of secondary disc haemorrhage to be made. Two cases of acute symptomatic PVD complicated by disc haemorrhage are presented.

9/16. A case of miliary tuberculosis with disseminated choroidal haemorrhages.

    A 20-year-old Japanese man had generalised miliary tuberculosis. Although he had no ocular symptoms, choroidal miliary tuberculosis with pleomorphic findings, including disseminated choroidal haemorrhages, was noted in both fundi. The haemorrhages disappeared as the patient's condition improved on medical therapy. Disseminated choroidal haemorrhages should be looked for in patients with miliary tuberculosis.

10/16. Expulsive choroidal haemorrhage--a clinical and pathological review.

    This paper describes two cases of expulsive choroidal haemorrhage (ECH) where the final corrected visual acuity was 6/5. The management of one case consisted simply of vitrectomy; and the other of suprachoroidal drainage of blood followed by vitrectomy. The pathological findings in a series of eyes enucleated following ECH are also described. The literature is reviewed with regard to the aetiology, pathology and management of ECH.
