“…32 In 1966, Gass 7 applied laser photocoagulation along the temporal margin of the disc and within the pit but with no resolution of the subretinal fluid. Brockhurst 18 reported six cases treated with photocoagulation along the disc margin in the area of retinal detachment.…”

This article discusses two current indications for intraocular surgery for optic nerve conditions. The first topic is macular detachment in association with congenital optic disc pit, and includes a review of the theories of pathogenesis and management options including our own experience of treatment with vitrectomy and gas tamponade. In addition, the histopathological findings of a new case of optic disc pit with serous macular detachment are presented, adding to the rare examples previously reported. The second subject is a radial optic neurotomy, a recently advocated treatment for central retinal vein occlusion, which, despite its controversial nature, is gaining in popularity.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and composition are generally thought to be homogeneous within small limits throughout all CSF compartments. CSF sampled during lumbar puncture therefore should be representative for all CSF compartments. On the basis of clinical findings, histology and biochemical markers, we present for the first time strong evidence that the subarachnoid spaces (SAS) of the optic nerve (ON) can become separated from other CSF compartments in certain ON disorders, thus leading to an ON sheath compartment syndrome. This may result in an abnormal concentration gradient of CSF molecular markers determined in locally sampled CSF compared with CSF taken during lumbar puncture.Keywords: beta trace protein; cerebrospinal fluid; optic nerve; subarachnoid space Abbreviations: CSF = cerebrospinal fluid; ON = optic nerve; SAS = subarachnoid space; ONSF = optic nerve sheath fenestration; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; PGD = prostaglandin D; NSE = neuron-specific enolase

“…Todos os pacientes foram operados por via medial, segundo técnica de Galbraith e Sullivan (12) modificada por Sergott et al (6) . Sob anestesia geral, e após a colocação de blefarostato, foi feita uma incisão conjuntival nos 180 graus nasais do olho, a 4 mm do limbo; desinseriu-se o reto medial após repará-lo com fio Vicryl 6-0.…”
