[Idiopatic parafoveolar telangiectasia associated with pseudoviteliform lesion, basal laminar drusen and optic nerve head drusen].

Background: We present a case with bilateral optic disc drusen, associated in one eye with idiopathic parafoveal telangiectasis (Group 1B), basal laminar drusen, and foveal pseudovitelliform lesion.

Patient: A 45-years old female patient, which complained about a deterioration of vision at the right eye, was ophthalmologically examined.

Results: The examination revealed a bilateral optic disc drusen, and on the right eye a macular haemorrhage.

[Multiple optic disc--myth or reality].

Objective: To study the clinical aspects of multiple optic papilla.

Clinical Observation: We present 2 cases with multiple optic papilla. First case, with an aspect of duplicated double papilla, where at the supranumerary papilla we noticed a cilioretinal artery.

[Diffuse choroidal hemangioma associated with serous retinal detachment].

A 53-years old patient, with the diagnosis of diffuse choroidal hemangioma, partially ossified, associated with serous exudative retinal detachment, secondary to the choroidal neovessels, is presented. Aspects of differential diagnosis with the choroidal osteoma associated with serous exudative retinal detachment are discussed.

[The place of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration].

Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is a multifactorial disease, with unknown etiology, which represents one of the main causes of legal blindness. At this moment, the only treatment for ARMD is symptomatic and concerns the distinction of the choroidal neovascularisation (CNV). There are many therapeutical procedures, and their classification is difficult.

[Diffuse retinal epitheliopathy].

This is the case of a 45 year man, with diffuse retinal epitheliopathy. The diagnosis was based on the angiofluorographic triad--diffusion sites; triangular lesions of the EPR, located vertically; serous detachments of the EPR. The therapy consisting of photocoagulation of the diffusion sites and of the harmed areas of the EPR led to a standstill of the clinical evolution, during a one year follow up period.

[Combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium].

We report the case of a 31-year-old man who developed a combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in the left eye. The diagnosis was determined based on alterations discovered on fundus examination: hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium cells and tortuosity of the vessels and glial epiretinal membrane. These modifications made it possible to differentiate the hamartoma from choroidal melanoma.

[Central serous chorioretinopathy and serous detachment of the pigmentary epithelium. Pathogeny relations].

A number of 7 cases of association of pigment epithelial serous detachment with central serous chorioretinopathy were described. The dye leakages were located at the periphery of the serous detachment (6 cases) and on its anterior surface (1 case). These are due to RPE breaking, as a result of the tension exerted by the build up of choroidal exudate în the subretinal space.

[Conjunctival-palpebral Kaposi's angiosarcoma: report of a case].

We describe the case of a 71-year-old man who developed classic Kaposi's sarcoma with conjunctival-palpebral involvement. The diagnosis was made based on clinical and histopathological findings. The lesions of the palpebral and conjunctival teguments were of a nodular tumorous aspect, their clinical particularities similar to other tegumental involvement.

[Combined hamartoma of pigment epithelium and retina].

This is the description of the case of a 36 year old male, who developed a combined hamartoma of the pigment epithelium and retina in the left eye. The location of the lesion in the macular zone, as well as the peculiar aspect of disease, raised some issues related to differential diagnosis. Attention was paid to the diseases of the posterior pole of eyeball, which, given their aspect of disease, result of a secondary hyperplastic reaction of the EPR, can embody a type of combined pseudohamartoma: retraction syndrome, retinal angiomatosis, pseudohistoplasmosis and others.

[Congenital retinal macro-vessel].

This is to show the case of a 40 year old patient, where a congenital retinal macro-vessel was found, the peculiarities of which are increased calibre, intersection of the macular area, arteriovenous shunts and lack of functional disturbances. The disease is rare and its lesional and functional stability is remarkable.

[Cutaneous palpebral anthrax].

The interest for anthrax is permanent because of its difficult diagnosis, its severe prognosis, and the possibility of its dissemination during biological war and bioterrorism. Cutaneous anthrax is an infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. Palpebral localizations are rare, raising problems of differential diagnosis.

[Papilloedema and POEMS syndrome].

POEMS syndrome stands for the first letter of the words: polyneuropathy (P), organomegaly (O), endocrinopathy (E), monoclonal component (M), changes of the tegument (S-skin). In 33-84% of the cases, chronic bilateral papilloedema is associated with the syndrome. The disease is a multisystem disorder, a plasma cell dyscrasia being present, often associated with Castleman disease.

[An efficacy study of lodoxamide treatment in allergic eye lesions].

Lodoxamid is an antiallergic drug, which stabilizes the mast cells' membrane blocking the release of the type I hypersensitivity reaction chemical mediators. A number of 25 patients with ocular allergic diseases (allergic conjunctivitis, vernal and atopic keratoconjunctivitis, giant papillary conjunctivitis), were included in this study. Lodoxamid, solution 0.
