Unilateral Conjunctival-Corneal Argyrosis Simulating Conjunctival Melanoma
clinically misdiagnosed as choroidal melanoma. Currently, most subretinal tumors assumed to be choroidal melanomas are treated with radiotherapy without histological confirmation. The diagnosis of an RPE carcinoma may therefore be missed. Finger et al described a darkly pigmented subretinal tumor accompanied by inflammation that was suspected of being an adenocarcinoma of the RPE. In several pu...

متن کاملRelationship of Conjunctival and Corneal Calcification with Secondary Hyperpara-thyroidism in Hemodialysis Patients
Background/Objective: Hyperphosphatemia is the consequence of end stage renal failure. Inadequate control of serum phosphorus results in elevated Ca×P product with subsequent soft tissue deposition in the form of conjunctival and corneal calcification. In this study, we evaluated the relationship of conjunctival and corneal calcification with secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patie...
متن کاملCorneal and conjunctival sensitivity to air stimuli.
AIMS To determine the repeatability of ocular surface sensitivity to mechanical stimulation using air stimuli and the effect of contact lens (CL) wear on sensitivity. METHODS Repeatability: 14 subjects (24-39 years) participated. Mechanical sensitivity to warmed (34 degrees C) and ambient (20 degrees C) air was measured for the central cornea (CC), inferior cornea (IC), and inferior conjuncti...
متن کاملParacellular permeability of corneal and conjunctival epithelia.
The paracellular permeability of normal rabbit cornea and conjunctiva was studied in vivo and in vitro. After intravenous administration, horseradish peroxidase was found to percolate to the intercellular space of conjunctival epithelia and was restricted by the tight junctions of the superficial epithelium. Only minimal tracer was present in the limbus and cornea. The difference between cornea...
