[The visual evoked potentials in diabetic retinopathy].

PURPOSE: The recording of Visual Evoked Potential alterations at the patients with diabetic retinopathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: It was performed the Visual Evoked Potential recordings at 24 patients with diabetic retinopathy in different stages of evolution, with or without complications. The type of Visual Evoked Potential recording was pattern reversal with vertical bars. We followed the diagram alterations in correlation with the evolution stages of diabetic retinopathy and the visual parameter alterations. RESULTS: In all cases we recorded alteration of the Visual Evoked Potential. In nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy was noticed the delay of P100 wave with inconstant presence of the N75 and N135 waves. In proliferative diabetic retinopathy and its complications the alterations of the tract were important. CONCLUSIONS: The gradual alteration of the Visual Evoked Potential tract at the patients with diabetic retinopathy represents a prognosis of the disease.

[The visual evoked potentials in open angle glaucoma].

PURPOSE: The study purpose to analyse the variations of Visual Evoked Potentials on a group of patients with Open Angle Glaucoma. MATERIAL AND METHOD: It was performed the Visual Evoked Potential recordings on a number of patients with Open Angle Glaucoma in different stages of evolutions. Some of the patients were monitored by the Visual Evoked Potentials recordings in a dynamic way, before and after the law pressure treatment. The type of Visual Evoked Potentials recording was pattern reversal with vertical bars. RESULTS: In incipient stage of Open Angle Glaucoma the alteration of the tract was minimal with inconstant presence of the N75 and N135 waves and just a few variation of the delay of P100. In advanced stages of Open Angle Glaucoma the alterations of the tract were important: the delay of P100 wave. In absolute stage the tract was null. CONCLUSIONS: The alterations of Visual Evoked Potentials tract was influenced by the different stages of evolution of Open Angle Glaucoma. The gradual alteration of the Visual Evoked Potential tract represents a prognosis of the disease.

[Orbito-ocular dermoid cysts--incidence and particular cases].

This paper is concerned about a retrospective study on the casuistry of the Ophthalmologic Clinic of Craiova concerning those cases hospitalized and operated for different dermoidal cystic localization. A period of 20 years is under observation. The group of patients is analyzed taking into account the apparent debut age of the tumors, sex and different localization incidence. Both those tumor particular forms are exemplified by the clinic own casuistry and the association to other lesion types and profound localization in the orbit with particular clinic symptomatology. All the cases have been checked up and anatomopathologically confirmed.
