    Clinical and laboratory studies of 22 patients with megaloblastic anemia were reported herein.
    The patients were grouped on the basis of pathogenesis of megaloblastic anemia.
    Group A: 12 patients with idiopathic megaloblastic anemia.
    Group B: 10 patients with secondary megaloblastic anemia. In 5 patients megaloblastic anemia was associated with gas trectomy, in 3 patients with operation of small intestine and in 2 patients with drugs.
    The common presenting symptoms were palpitation and general fatigue.
    The erythrocyte count was ranged between 860, 000 and 4, 980, 000 per mm3. Patients with severe anemia mostly showed leucopenia and thrombocytopenia. When anemia was severe, promegaloblasts and basophilic megaloblasts were recognized in bone marrow. The serum iron was usually normal or raised, and high levels of LDH were recognized. The Schilling test for 14 cases revealed vitamin B12 absorption ratio to be so low as 0.346.1 per cent.
    Hematological findings were rapidly improved by administration of vitamin B12 in all cases except 2 cases with severe heart failure.

    Pendular rotation nystagmus was repeatedly investigated in squirrel monkeys after injecting Fentanyl in different doses. Good nystagmic in-hibition was observed although the slow phase eye movement remained after more than 0.027 mg/kg of the drug was administered. Sequential tests demonstrated the pattern of nystagmic suppression and its recovery along the post-injection time course.

    The authors propose the way of the approach to the exophthalmos. In most of exophthalmos, the clinical diagnosis is adequately confirmed by the supportive laboratory finding. When the possibility of malignancy can not be ruled out, further investigation such as biopsy or surgical exploration will be necessary.

    The authors experienced the considerable variety of the orbital or para-orbital diseases which manifested exophthalmos. Because of the variable etiologies, the surgeons must evaluate the patient carefully in order to get the best management. Highly individualized approach is necessary to make the correct diagnosis and the cooperative work among the different specialities may be most rewarding in this field.
