title: [The role of the parathalamus in covered sclerectomy].
abstract: Twenty-six eyes in which IOP had been regulated at a mean 14 mmHg by goniotrepanation were operated on for cataract after an interval of at least 4 years. On exposing the scleral flap the authors discovered gray-black funiculi on the two unsutured vertical sides, representing new fluid-permeable membranous tissue. Beneath them was a fairly small fluid-filled space, the " parathalmus " - a kind of secondary anterior chamber.
