[Mydriasis--areflexia syndrome in eye with posterior chamber intraocular lens]. / Sindromul midriaza--areflexie la ochi cu pseudofak de camera posterioara.

PURPOSE: To describe a rare complication of classical EEC technique with posterior chamber IOL implantation in the sulcus. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of 296 eyes which underwent EEC and CP implantation. None was operated with phacoemulsification. The posterior chamber IOL originated from 4 renowned manufacturers. RESULTS: In 25 eyes, at 2 to 7 month after surgery, we noticed a mydriasis with pupillary areflexia, though the majority (20 eyes) presented a miotic pupil in the days following surgery. CONCLUSION: The authors discuss possible causes of such a delayed complication: direct trauma of the iris, difficult haptic introduction in the sulcus, toxic material on the i., o.l. More probably the interaction of more than a cause is necessary for this delayed complication.

[The efficacy of Charleux's peripheral iridectomy]. / Eficienta iridectomiei periferice Charleux.

The simplicity of Charleux's technique for peripheral iridectomy is underlined. In a lot of 15 eyes with acute angle closure glaucoma, the i.o.p. after surgery was under 21 mm Hg when the attack lasted less than 48 hours. In a second group of 20 eyes with occludable angle/congener eyes suffered attacks/peripheral iridectomy with Charleux's technique prevented acute angle closure/56 months of postoperative observation.

[The immediate results of trabeculoplasty with the YAG-neodymium laser in wide-angle glaucoma]. / Rezultate imediate ale trabeculoplastiei cu laser YAG-neodinium în glaucomul de unghi larg.

There are discussed the observations that had been done for a period of 10 weeks about, after the YAG-neodymium laser trabeculoplasty for 79 eyes suffering of simple chronic glaucoma. The choosing of the patients has been done because of the tensional uncompensation under the maximum treatment for 42 eyes having ocular tension constantly over 30 mm Hg, or because of the lack tolerating the drugs, the secondary, effects, allergy. The average decreasing was of 6.31 mm Hg, high semnificative from the point of view of statistic mathematics but the decreasing of the tension researches 15 mm Hg for isolated cases, that permitting to decrease or renounce the drugs.

[An unusual case of "ocular tumor"]. / Un caz neobisnuit de "tumora oculara".

It is presented a case of symptomatic separating of the retina which ophthalmoscopic examination, that with a Goldmann glass and that of echographic one have justified the enucleation for. The anatomopathological examination hasn't put in evidence any tumour and the subsequent clinical evolution has evidenced an orbital hydatid cyst.

[The marking of the anterior crystalloid in the extracapsular extraction of the crystalline lens by the intrasaccular (in the bag) technic]. / Marcarea cristaloidei anterioare în extractia extracapsulara a cristalinului prin tehnica intrasaculara (in the bag).

The authors try to mark the anterior crystalloid before sectioning it, using the chemical touch (solution three coloured acetic or sodium hydroxide) or by means of physical methods (electrocoagulation or diathermy for minimum electric power). In vivo the two last methods have given stable whitish points by the middle of which had been executed the sectioning of the crystalloid. The authors emphasize the advantages that are known by the technique of the extracapsular extraction of the crystalline in the bag and the simplifying of the manoeuvre for marking the anterior crystalloid.
