[The therapeutical approach in the unilateral congenital cataract of the child].

The management of pediatric cataracts is, by far, more complex than the management of cataracts in adults and depends not only on deterioration of visual acuity, but also on the status of the other eye, the general health of the child, the motivation and the financial situation of the parents and last, but not least, on the surgeons' experience and skill, and the technical support. The therapeutically approach involves: the preoperative evaluation to establishes the indication and the timing of surgery the adaptation of the surgical technique for each case the choice of the aphakic correction the visual rehabilitation in the context of amblyopia management.

[Optic nerve bilateral atrophy in a suprachiasmatic astrocytoma].

The paper presents a clinical case of a 5 years old child with bilateral optic atrophy and the specific diagnosis and treatment problems of this case. The image investigations have a major part in establishing the positive diagnosis: computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and the elective treatment belongs to the field of neurosurgery.

[Left temporal arachnoid cyst].

Ocular onset is seldom for an arachnoid cyst. We present the case of a young man whose only symptom when hospitalized, was the unilateral peripheral field contraction. It was afterwards specified the presence of the arachnoid cyst and it's pathogenic feature, the compression of the optic nerve.

[Penetrating ocular trauma--therapeutic approach].

The most important factor for functional and anatomic prognosis of an injured eye is the appropriate emergency assistance. This paper presents a case of penetrating ocular trauma with minor clinical sings which associates severe lesions of posterior pole discovered intraoperatively. Careful history and clinical examination allowed the best surgical management, with complete anatomical and functional recovery of the eye.

[Post-traumatic glaucoma].

This paper presents theoretical aspects concerning the physiopathological mechanisms involved in producing the glaucoma following trauma, especially the lens related glaucoma, correct identification of the ethiopathogeny of the intraocular pressure elevation in this situation is essential for the appropriate management. These aspects are illustrated by two cases of recent glaucoma following trauma lens related (lens subluxation) treated by medication and surgery. The surgical procedure consisted of intracapsular extraction of the lens, anterior vitrectomy, iridectomy and implantation of sulcus sutured posterior chamber lens. We present the technique, the difficulties met intra- and postoperative, evolution and prognosis.

[Premature elevated intraocular pressure after cataract surgery].

We evaluated the frequency of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) the first 1-3 postoperative days for a group of patients undergoing standard or phacoemulsification extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE). IOP was measured in the pre and postoperative period using non-contact tonometer. From the 356 operated patients, 21 patients (6%) had early elevated IOP. The frequency of elevated IOP was greater among the patients that received anterior chamber (AC) IOL (25%) as compared to that of patients that received posterior chamber (PC) IOL (5.5%). The viscoelastic substance was responsible for a great percentage of cases (51%). The results show that the majority of elevated IOP is transient, recovered spontaneously or by treatment with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors or beta-adrenergic blockers. Elevated postoperative IOP occurs more frequently in the presence of glaucoma, cataract associated with systemic diseases, in complicated and traumatic cataract.

[The nonfunctional pituitary adenoma, The optic chiasm syndrome].

We present the case of patient D. E., 48 years old, whose diagnosis is nonfunctional pituitary adenoma. The diagnosis was revealed by the presence of bitemporal hemianopia. This observation led us to remember the principal neuro-ophthalmological manifestations and to emphasize the part of the ophthalmologist in the diagnosis of this disease.

[Total rhegmatogenous retinal detachment - late postoperative complication].

This paper presents the case of a pacient operated for organized hemoftalmus after central retinal vein thrombosis (total vitrectomy) and whom five days after surgery a macular hole was observed and internal indendation with gas was performed. Postoperative evolution was good. Two months after surgery the pacient returns with cvasitotal regmatogen retinal detachment. The possible causes in bringing about of the retinal detachment in this case will be discussed as well as the factors that condition the success in posterior pole surgery.

[Functional recuperation in unilateral congenital cataract--a clinical case].

The management of a monocular congenital cataract is dominated by the problems of amblyopia, always present. The paper shows the case of an eight years old child, who was operated when he was 6 month of age for monocular congenital cataract. After YAG-Nd treatment of secondary cataract, aerian correction and intense pleoptic and orthoptic treatment, the visual acuity rise up to 1/4, when was possible to made an IOL implantation. We consider that is important to try to solve the monocular congenital cataract, even at higher ages, because the results is possible to be satisfactorily.

[Echography in ophthalmology].

Echography represents an extremely valuable method in exploration of the eye for knowledge of some ocular parameters or detect and localize intraocular pathological process when the classical ophthalmological investigations are insufficient because of the affected transparent mediums. It is also used in the orbit pathology which is inaccessible to direct examination. This work contains the echographic exploration of the most common oculo-orbital diseases reached by ultrasonography (echography). The direct access of the ophthalmologist to the echograph enables the correlation between the anamnestic and clinical datum with those obtained by echographic explorations, meaning a more precise diagnosis.
