[Health resort treatment of eye diseases caused by ischemia].

The authors discuss the results of ophthalmodynamometric tests used for the assessment of cerebro-retinal vessels reactivity following carbon dioxide baths and "peat collars". An analysis of systemic and local blood pressure in the ophthalmic artery measured with Weigelin and Lobstein technique enables to assess changes in blood pressures following a/m balneologic procedures. It was found that blood pressure does not change parallelly due to the mechanism of cerebral autoregulation. Transient decrease in blood pressure in the ophthalmic artery is produced by the dilatation of the internal carotid artery indicating a potent vasodilating action of carbon dioxide.

[10-year experience with the health resort treatment of eye diseases].

Presented are the kinds of ocular diseases which can be qualified for a health-resort therapy and the kinds of measures the most beneficial in particular cases. After the cure an improvement in the condition of the eyes was found in 68 p.c. of cases. On the basis of results one may conclude that the rehabilitating health-resort treatment is worth to be suggested.

Balneology↗

[Retinal detachment of unknown etiology].

Cases of retinal detachment of undetermined aetiology were analyzed on the material of the Ophthalmological Department in Wrocław. Presented were the results of the surgical procedures taking into account the actual classification of the detachments. A positive anatomical result of the operation was achieved in 80 p.c. of patients, instead the improvement of the visual function was observed in only 56.5 p.c. of cases.

[Congestive papilledema caused by marked narrowing of the superior ophthalmic vein].

In the reported case eye fundus changes and symptoms suggested initially increased intracranial pressure. The cause of choked disc was recognized relatively late, after phlebography. Thrombosis of the upper ophthalmic vein causes papilloedema with or without haemorrhages on the disc and around it. Vision may be normal or slightly impaired. There are no inflammatory changes in the orbital soft tissues or exophthalmos. Fundus changes are not different from those caused by raised intracranial pressure.
