The paper presents a clinical case of colobomatous fossette of the optic nerve papilla complicated with macular decolation, in association with the malignant melanoma of the choroid. Some aspects of the pathogeny of the retinal decoloration are discussed in this context. Some possible corrections between the two border retinal decolorations--the serous interpapillary macular decoloration and the retinal decoloration secondary to the melanoma of the choroid--are also proposed.

[Cerebro-oculofacial dysplasia associated with vertebral changes].

A clinical case of craniofacial dysplasia, with multiple and complex congenital anomalies, is presented. The clinical modifications noticed are systematized in four groups: cerebral, ocular, facial and vertebral. The case is a form of cerebrofacial display, associated with anophthalmos, orbitopalpebral chist and vertebral modifications. There are discussed problems of differential diagnosis, pathogeny and therapeutical attitude.

[Choroidal metastasis after a bronchial carcinoid tumor].

59-year-old patient present at the left eye a symptomatic retinal detachment, angiofluorographic and ultrasonographical confirmed. The histopathological exam, made after the globe enucleation, revealed a tumoural formation having the structure of the squamocellular carcinoma. The general clinical investigations showed neoplastic lesions at the level of the right lung. The patient was directed to the oncology department with the diagnosis of choroidal metastasis at the left eye, after bronchial carcinoid tumour.

[Screening for diabetic retinopathy in Romania].

The survey proposes the analysis of the Romanian implementation of the action: "Protocol for screening of diabetic retinopathy in Europe" (London, 1990). Based on the answers obtained after spreading a typical questionnaire, it was constated that the protocol's implementation was done in 9 sanitary profilated units and implied a percentage of patients less then 4%. Some of the difficulties mentioned were the insufficiency of (photocoagulation) devices, of funds and adequate (qualified) staff, and also the inertia of the old evidencing system.

[The macular vascular changes in diabetic retinopathy].

The angiofluorographic surveys done on 46 patients with diabetes shows some particular modifications of the retinal vessels, from the foveolar, perifoveolar and parafoveolar areas. These modifications influence the values of the visual acuity; they are not connected in all cases with all the retinal vascular modifications.

[The classification of diabetic retinopathy].

The author propose a classification of diabetic retinopathy, based of ophthalmoscopic modifications of the retinal vessels and tissues. In this formulation ewrw considered the most recent data in the literature, the clinical possibilities in exploring the posterior pole, the imperatives of clinical practice and the necessities connected with the screening action. The classification involves four stages and it may be used either in a simple or detailed form.

[Chronic ischemic ophthalmopathy in Takayasu-Onishi disease].

The cronical ischemical ophthalmopathy represents an ocular clinical syndrome with well-defined clinical particularities. It is the effect of the decrease of the perfussion pressure at ACR level, during a long time period, caused by the stenosis of the aortic arch and his main branches. The paper presents a clinical observation of cronical ischemical ophthalmopathy having in ethiology the unspecific aortitis or the Takayasu-Onishi diasease. It is extensively discussed the ocular clinical syndrome and the particularities of the Takayasu-Onishi disease.
