This study is evaluation of the results of surgical treatment in case of postoperative endophthalmitis. The results of 16 pars plana vitrectomies in 16 patients with clinical evidences of postoperative endophthalmitis were analyzed. Successful management of postoperative endophthalmitis depends on timely diagnosis and institution of appropriate therapy.
The authors described general clinical signs and pathology in eye examination in three patients with Terson syndrome. From this group only one patient recovered. In this case the early eye fundus examination allowed doctors to make the proper diagnosis and led to neurosurgical intervention, just in time.
PURPOSE: The main subject of the study was to evaluate efficacy of ciprofloxacin 0.3% ophthalmic solution (Ciloxan) in the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis and surgical prophylaxis. Safety and comfort of topical ciprofloxacin treatment was also examined. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two study arms: 99 patients with bacterial conjunctivitis (A group) and 48 patients awaiting cataract surgery (B group--total 147 subjects in both groups) received ciprofloxacin 0.3% ophthalmic solution (Ciloxan) 4 doses a day for seven days. Bacteriological evaluation was established before and after treatment for each eye. RESULTS: 95 out of the 99 patients (96%) in the first arm were completely cured (all signs and symptoms of the bacterial conjunctivitis were eliminated). In the second arm complete eradication of bacterial flora was achieved in 46 out of 48 pretreated patients (96%). CONCLUSIONS: Topical ciprofloxacin 0.3% (iloxan) was found very effective and fast in reduction of typical signs and symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis as well as in eradication of bacterial flora before surgery treatment.
Embryogenesis of the eye was presented and definite time of arising congenital anomalies of the optic disc, which characterized abnormal diameter disc, was determined on its background. As well genes, which control development of the optic disc were detailed.
Embryological conditions, each of fifth congenital anomalies of the optic disc from the group of anomalies of inappropriate optic diameter was described. Few available epidemiological data were given. The influence of medications, drugs, intoxications, as well as premature birth on genesis of congenital anomalies was taken into consideration. Malformation of central nervous system was introduced together with clinical syndromes related to congenital anomalies of the optic disc indicating the genetic condition.
