[Ophthalmologic involvement of intracranial tumors--report of a case]. / Implicatii oftalmologice ale proceselor intracraniene înlocuitoare de spatiu--referire la un caz.

Bilateral papillary edema is considered to be the expression of a tumoral process that reduces the intracranial space resulting in elevation of the intracranial cerebrospinal fluid pressure. The authors present the case of a 21-year-old man consulting for mild visual loss of the left eye. The ophthalmologic examination showed bilateral papilledema and visual field defects in the left eye (enlargement of the blind spot), with no clinic or imagistic signs of increased intracranial pressure. Intracranial pathologic processes that bear like a tumor, reducing the intracranial space are not always associated with papilledema, but papilledema is always associated with intracranial tumor. Increased intracranial pressure is frequently associated with intracranial tumoral processes, but in this case was not showed increasing of intracranial pressure.

[Myopic peripheral retinal degenerations]. / Degenerescente retiniene periferice în miopie.

The article shows periferical retinal degenerations which appear in myopia. The places, the ophthalmoscopical aspect and histopathological aspect of each retinal change and the complications that may appear are presented. In the end some principles of treatment are presented.

[Trabeculectomy and nonpenetrating surgery in glaucoma]. / Trabeculectomia si chirurgia nonperforanta în glaucom.

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficiency of classical trabeculectomy and with the punch and nonpenetrating deep-sclerectomy in patients with primary open angle glaucoma. The studied groups comprise patients with uncontrolled intra-ocular pressure with medical therapy and/or laser. The results of the study emphasize the following conclusions: the decrease of intra-ocular pressure is comparable in classical trabeculectomy and with punch the decrease of intra-ocular pressure is comparable in classical trabeculectomy and nonpenetrating surgery. we consider the non penetrating surgery an interesting alternative to the classical trabeculectomy, with better control of intra-ocular pressure the complications of non penetrating surgery are reduced.

[Non surgical alternatives in the treatment of the primitive open angle glaucoma]. / Alternative nechirurgicale in tratamentul glaucomului primitiv cu unghi deschis.

Lowering of the intraocular pressure--the main risk factor in glaucoma neuropathy--is the major goal in the treatment for primary open angle glaucoma. The goal of the study is to compare the results of topical administration of the next therapeutical agents: b-blockers, prostaglandin analogs, topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and selectives adrenergic a-2 agonists. The studied groups emphasize the efficiency of the first line monotherapy and of the combined therapy, maintaining the quality of life, preserving the visual function, the minimal side effects and the compliance of the patients.
