[Etiopathogenesis in macular edema and therapeutic approach]. / Etiopatogenia edemului macular si implicatiile terapeutice ale acestora.

Macular edema is one of the most frequent cause of low vision with very different causes. It is a non-specific response to the change in the permeability of blood-ocular barrier. The tendency of the retina to form cistoid macular edema is little understood. There are situations where it is associated with leakage of the small perifoveolar capillaries as there are situations, such as diabetic macular edema, where the leakage is a diffuse thickening of the posterior pole with or without cistoid changes in macula.

[Diabetic retrohialoidian hemorrage--invasive minimal treatment]. / Hemoragie retrohialoidiana diabetica--tratament minim invaziv.

Subhyaloid hemorrhage is defined as a localized detachment of vitreous from the retina caused by the accumulation of blood, which can lead to sudden and severe loss of vision when it takes place in the macular area. The treatment ranges from conservative to posterior vitrectomy depending on the cause, age and the status of other eye.

[Avastin treatment in intraocular tumors]. / Tratamentul cu avastinl intravitreean în tumorile intraoculare.

Bevacizumab is used in the treatment of cancer where it inhibits tumor growth by blocking the formation of new blood vessels (blocking angiogenesis). The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the short-term safety and effectiveness of Avastin injected into the eyeball in cases with intraocular tumors following-up the subjective and objective postoperative results.

[Atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium after macular hole surgery]. / Atrofia epiteliului pigmentar dupa chirurgia gaurii maculare.

We present three cases of macular hole. After macular surgery we observed good anatomical results (closed macular holes) but poor functional results. We try to identified the element who produced atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium.

[Characteristics of ocular detachment after refractive surgery]. / Particularitati ale dezlipirii de retina dupa chirurgia refractiva.

The myopic eye subject to refractive surgery maintains a high risk of retinal detachment (RD). We present the difficulties of endo-ocular surgery on patients with previous radial keratotomy as well as the particular aspects of RD in patient with LASIK. RD in lens refractive surgery eyes is not essentially different from RD on pseudophakic eyes. ReStore pseudophakic lenses rise particular problems following vitreo-retinal surgery (retinal laser photocoagulation, lens des-centering duet of vitreal architecture changes).

[Examination and investigation of the vitreous body]. / Examinarea si investigarea vitrosului.

The vitreous is a part of the ophthalmological pathology not well enough known and explored. For the moment it is considered the poor relative of the examination of the posterior pole. The new technical progresses had brought though many usefull information in interpreting the vitreoretinal changes.

[In vivo study of effects of some alkyl-phenyl-pyridinium compounds after their exposure to optical UV beams]. / Studiu in vivo al efectelor unor compusi alchilfenilpiridinici expusi la radiatia optica.

The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of some alkyl-phenyl-pyridinium compounds (which are in fact cytostatics) on the pseudotumoral tissues after their exposure to optical UV- vis beams.

[Fungal endogenous endophthalmitis--case report]. / Endoftalmita endogena fungica--caz clinic--.

This paper presents a particular case of endogenous candida endophthalmitis, at a patient with lots of risk factors; the correct diagnosis was relatively late; it had been surgically solved by posterior vitrectomy.

[Aspects of optical coherence tomography in diabetic retinopathy]. / Aspecte ale tomografiei în coerenta optica în retinopatia diabetica.

Optical coherence tomography is a new and very useful technique for diabetic patients. It is used to determine the early changes in diabetic retinopathy and to help the ophthalmologist to choose the appropriate therapy.

[Retinal detachment with giant tears]. / Dezlipirile de retina cu rupturi gigante.

Retinal detachments are one of the greatest challenge for the vitreoretinal surgeon. Giant tears have a special place among them because they need a special equipment and experience. We are presenting here our experience concerning this type of tears.
