[Acute, idiopathic, bilateral uveitis with periphlebitis--case report].

The purpose of this paper is to present the case of a 35 years old healthy male suffering from acute, bilateral uveitis with periphlebitis which despite broad ophthalmic and internal diagnosis remained of unknown origin. Despite anti-inflammatory treatment with acyclovir, ciprofloxacin and Encorton remission of inflammation was not achieved. Due to the failure of steroid treatment the decision of immunosuppressive therapy with Rapamycine and Endoxan was made. New therapeutic regimen caused the remission of inflammation and preserved patient's useful visual acuity.

[Terson syndrome in a course of cerebral aneurysm--clinical assessment].

40 patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysm were screened by an ophthalmologist for the presence of Terson syndrome (TS) and other forms of ocular haemorrhages. Terson syndrome was found in 10% of cases and 37.5% of cases presented other forms of ocular bleeding. The most significant neurological symptom leading to diagnose TS, was coma episode occurring in any moment of clinical observation.

[Terson syndrome].

The syndrome of intra-vitreous bleeding in association with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) was first describe by French ophthalmologist Albert Terson in 1900. In last 10 years only a few cases were recorded. Early recognition of TS is of high importance, since diminution of visual acuity even to functional blindness, can hamper the rehabilitative process. The treatment methods are various, based on clinical manifestation. The surgical procedure of choice is the pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). The importance of being aware of the syndrome is very crucial, both in order to provide the adequate nursing care and to be able to perform early vitrectomy, to restore the visual function.

[The influence of spontaneous posterior vitreous detachment in resolution of diabetic macular edema in NIDDM].

PURPOSE: To establish the influence of posterior vitreous detachment on development and resolution of diabetic macular edema in NIDDM. To asses the posterior vitreous detachment role in argon laser treatment of diabetic macular edema. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study. RESULTS: 68 eyes of 36 patients were involved into the study, 52 eyes (76.5%) with macular edema and 16 eyes (23.5%) without macular edema. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was present in 62.5% of cases without macular edema, and only 30.77% of cases had macular edema. Laser treatment applied in accordance to general standards cased resolution of macular edema in all cases with posterior vitreous detachment. In group with no spontaneous posterior vitreous detachment, macular edema resolved only in 19.23% of cases. CONCLUSIONS: Diabetic macular edema is less common in eyes with spontaneous posterior vitreous detachment. This observation shows, that not only vascular factor but also vitreo-macular tractions are responsible for macular pathology in diabetic macular edema. The efficacy of standard argon laser treatment depends also on vitreo-macular relation--presence of PVD, and is more sufficient in eyes with posterior vitreous detachment.

[Vitrectomy in diabetic macular edema].

Macular edema remains one of the important therapeutic issues. Vitero-macular tractions are said, to be the cause of persistent, non responding to laser treatment diabetic macular edema. Surgical removal of these tractions is used in treatment of non resolving macular edema. However, vitrectomy in treatment of diabetic macular edema remains the experimental, method requiring further studying.
