25. Prospective trial of intraoperative mitomycin C in the treatment of primary pterygium.
AIMS--A prospective, randomised, double blind, placebo controlled study of intraoperative mitomycin C as adjunctive treatment of primary pterygium was conducted. METHODS--A total of 66 eyes of 54 patients with primary pterygium were treated with excision, with or without a single intraoperative application of mitomycin C (0.1 mg/ml for 5 minutes) to evaluate

26. Aetiology of climatic droplet keratopathy and pterygium.
The association of various personal, occupational, and environmental factors with climatic droplet keratopathy and pterygium was examined in a group of Australian Aborigines. Climatic droplet keratopathy was seen especially in aboriginal males who had worked as stockmen for more than 20 years. Although no definite association with a single causal factor coul

27. Pterygium syndrome.
The pterygium syndrome consists of the neck, the antecubital fossae and the popliteal regions together with flexion deformities of the limb joints and anomalies of the vertebrae. A family, three offspring of which appear to be affected with the same disorder, is presented. All three are female; there is also a normal female child of the same union.

28. Popliteal pterygium syndrome: a phenotypic and genetic analysis.
Two additional families with popliteal pterygium syndrome are presented. Using previously published pedigrees, as well as the ones reported here, evidence is presented that supports an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance for this syndrome. Analysis of previous familial cases showed a large degree of between and within-family variation. The segregation ana

29. Multiple pterygium syndrome: evolution of the phenotype.
The clinical features of the multiple pterygium syndrome are multiple congenital joint contractures, multiple skin webs, camptodactyly, vertebral anomalies, short stature, ptosis, and antimongoloid eye slant. We present 11 new cases to show the evolution of the full phenotype from birth and to confirm autosomal recessive inheritance. We emphasise morbidity s

30. Pterygium in welders.
Pterygium is thought to be hyperaemia of fibrovascular tissue on to the cornea caused by ultraviolet radiation of sunlight. We observed a significantly high incidence of pterygia in welders who were exposed occupationally to excess ultraviolet radiation and found a close relationship between the incidence and the length of employment as a welder (r = 0.975,

31. Long term results of intraoperative mitomycin C in the treatment of recurrent pterygium.
AIM: The study was designed to evaluate the long term results of intraoperative mitomycin C in patients with one recurrence of pterygium. METHODS: In 45 white patients with one recurrence of pterygium the 'bare sclera technique' was performed and a sterile sponge soaked in a 0.2 mg/ml (0.02%) mitomycin C solution was placed intraoperatively on the sclera for

32. Solar keratosis, pterygium, and squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva in Malawi.
The histological features of 234 conjunctival biopsies from Africans in Malawi have been re-examined. The appearances of solar keratosis, pinguecula, and pterygium are presented as part of a continuous spectrum of the same pathological process and aetiology, which may lead to carcinomatous change. The results are discussed with regard to the specific geogr
