[Involvement of the eye in polycythemia vera (Vaquez-Osler disease)].
An example of chocked disk of 3-4 diopters (right eye) and 4-5 diopters (left eye) in a patient with cerebral alteration (encephalomalacia respectively bleeding) suffering from polycythemia vera is discussed in the light of own observation, literature, differential diagnosis, pathogenesis, and therapy. An internal treatment by radioactive phosphorus and blood-letting gave restitutio fere ad integrum.

The ultrasound guided 32P test.
The accurate and early diagnosis of intraocular malignant melanoma in eyes with opaque media remains a diagnostic problem. Ultrasonography and the radioactive phosphorus (32P) uptake test have been used separately as modalities for diagnosis of choroidal melanoma. However, their combined use has received limited attention. This report presents our experience in 5 cases with the combined use of a contact B-scan ultrasound unit and a posterior eye probe. In all cases we were able to accurately perform the 32P uptake test with simultaneously ultrasound visualization of the tumor and the probe.

False-positive results with the radioactive phosphorus test.
A chorioretinal granuloma that contained acid-fast bacilli and a choriodal nevus that consisted of benign nevus cells yielded false-positive radioactive phosphorus tests. The beta emission exceeded that of the control areas by more than 100% in each case. The granuloma had infiltrated the sclera, permitting inflammatory tissue to be in closer proximity to the counting probe than was the normal choroid. The reason for the increased metabolic activity of the nevus cells remains unexplained.
