[Retinal detachment caused by late-stage retinopathy of prematurity].

Retinal detachment occurring in late stages of retinopathy of prematurity may appear spontaneous when a short oxygen therapy in low birthweight infant has been failed to recognized. As it is initially a tractional detachment the understanding of underlying pathogenic mechanisms is still important to choose adequate treatment which will determine the success of the surgery. Six patients with R.D. were recognised as having late complication of R.P. on the aspect of pathological posterior retinal vasculature and typical history of prematurity and oxygen therapy. All cases were treated successfully by different procedures varying with the severity of the disease. Use of vitrectomy can be advised in some cases but, is still a dangerous procedure, especially in this peculiar condition.

[Stickler's syndrome or hereditary progressive arthro-ophthalmopathy].

Hereditary Progressive Arthro-Ophthalmopathy was described for the first time by Stickler. The major features of the syndrome are: myopia with retinal detachment and blindness, bone and joint dysplasia with arthropathy, and hearing loss. The condition is autosomal dominant with strong expressivity. Findings of 11 patients from 3 families are reported here: they confirm that this syndrome can be considered as a severe connective tissue disease.

[Which mast cell inhibition is to be used in ophthalmology?].

Correct treatment of allergic conjunctivitis cannot be achieved bay simple classification into two categories, i.E. as perennial or seasonal conjunctivitis. It is important to distinguish the different forms, each of which have a different pathogenicity and a different treatment. Opticron is the reference product. All others drugs must be evaluated by randomized double-masked studies.

[Prevention of retinal detachment. Whom to treat?].

Natural history of retinal detachment (RD) studies on clinical exam of 200 patients revealed that RD, is the consequence of multiple risk factors preparing to PVD. This phenomenon depends therefore from peculiar background, patient's age, and opportunistic traumatism. The best prophylaxis would be represented by a mean of inducing PVD without retinal damage. Since no possibilities are present right now, retinopexy or surgical mechanical action are used as prophylactic methods. Results are discussed in this paper based on long-term-follow-up of 300 patients.
