Abstract
In order to treat a pediatric patient with ligneous conjunctivitis secondary to congenital plasminogen deficiency, a supply of topically administered replacement human plasminogen has been required. In the absence of market approval, this blood-derived drug is managed by a temporary authorisation for nominative use, allowing monthly hospital dispensations. To ensure regulatory compliance and proper use of the drug, it took two years of interactions between various hospital departments and the laboratory to define the pharmaceutical supply chain in our hospital and allow the patient to receive treatment. The main difficulties lie in respecting the cold chain of this drug stored frozen in the bottles not ready for use. Transportation from the laboratory to the patient's home via the hospital pharmacy is carried out in calibrated conditions, ensuring a temperature below -20°C for 72h. Reception and dispensing steps were combined into a single pharmaceutical service in order to optimise transport time while ensuring the safety and traceability of the drug lots. Each month, a date is scheduled between the hospital pharmacy, the laboratory and the family to ensure that delivery and dispensing take place on the same day. Appropriate use and handling are explained to the family. However, two issues remain to be addressed by the manufacturer to facilitate future use of human plasminogen: the thermostability problem, which does not allow stays away from home longer than three days, and self-administration by the child, which is unlikely to be feasible due to handling difficulties.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate long terms outcomes of botulinum toxin in infantile esotropia by measuring the amount of microtropia 24 months after injection. Secondary purpose was to identify predictive factors of microtropia. METHODS A retrospective, single-center study was performed at the university medical center in Bordeaux between 2001 and 2018, including all patients with infantile esotropia greater than 20 D. All patients received 5 or 7,5 IU of botulinum toxin A in each medial rectus, once or twice depending on the angle of deviation after the first injection and after wearing full optical correction at least two months. We noted the angle at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months, the occurrence of any complications and the need for later strabismus surgery. The primary endpoint was the achievement of a microtropia less than 8 diopters (D) at 24 months post-injection. We evaluated the predictive factors for microtropia with a Fischer's test. RESULTS We included 30 patients with esotropia greater than 20 D. The mean follow-up after injection was 48 months ±30. The mean age was 16.24 months (7-29 months) with a female predominance in the population (SR=0.43). The mean pre-injection deviation was 41.25±12.17 D. The majority of patients were mildly (40%) or moderately (40%) hyperopic. At 24 months, 46.7% microtropias were obtained (95% CI: 28.9%-64.5%). The change in mean angle at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months post-injection was -8.57±25.21 D; 14.48±13.40 D; 18.38±12.07 D and 21.23±14.97 D, respectively. No factors were predictive of microtropia. Of the 30 children, 3 had transient ptosis requiring strips and 12 showed an exotropia at 1 month. All complications were self-limited and without consequences. 3 children had a second injection of botulinum toxin, which in 2/3 of the cases resulted in a long-lasting microtropia. 26.7% (n=8) of the children underwent secondary surgery. Obtaining a microtropia 24 months after injection statistically significantly reduced the need for secondary strabismus surgery: 92.9% P=0.039% CI 95% (0.002; 1.0606). CONCLUSION Botulinum toxin appears to be a less invasive and more conservative alternative to surgery in children with infantile esotropia. In 46.7% of cases, microtropia is achieved. An improvement was noted in 90% (n=27) of the children with a reduction of half (21.23 D) of the mean post-injection angle at 24 months. When effective, it significantly reduces the need for secondary surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Erdheim-Chester disease is a rare systemic disease. The diagnosis is difficult due to significant clinical and morphological polymorphism. Orbital involvement is rare, but constitutes a classic means of detection. OBSERVATION We report the case of a 60-year-old man, who consulted for evaluation of bilateral retro-orbital tumors. These tumors had been discovered on head CT two years previously during work-up of proptosis. Two biopsies were performed. The first one revealed polymorphous inflammatory tissue. The second one revealed intense granulomatous reaction, rich in non-specific foamy histiocytes. Thoracic-abdominal-pelvic CT scan detected peri-aortic and retroperitoneal infiltration. The association of these signs pointed to a diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester disease, confirmed by the re-examination of the histological samples. DISCUSSION Erdheim-Chester disease is a rare non-Langerhans histiocytosis with a specific tropism for perivascular and fatty connective tissue. The cause is not known. The diagnosis of this systemic disease is histological. CONCLUSION In the case of bilateral intra-orbital tumors, the diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester disease must be considered.
