[Orbital lymphoblastic lymphoma in 7 years old child].

The aim of the study is to present a case of unilateral orbital tumor (lymphoma) in a 7 years old boy. The edema of the temporal area of the right orbit with considerable narrowing of the palpebral fissure increased quickly during about 3 weeks.

Unilateral extrafoveal choroidal . ......... eovascularization in a 13-year-old child with bilateral optic nerve drusen.

Aim: The aim of our research was to describe the effect of an off-label intravitreal ranibizumab injection for treatment of unilateral extrafoveal choroidal neovascularization a with bilateral optic nerve drusen.

Material And Methods: 13-year-old girl presented with decreased visual acuity of her left eye and optic nerve drusen confirmed by B-scan ultrasound examination in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography revealed the presence of choroidal neovascularization in the left eye.

[The disturbances of the eye position and motility in patients after scleral buckling surgery due to retinal detachment].

Purpose: The aim of the study was the evaluation of the frequency and intensity of the disturbances of the eye position and motility in patients after scleral buckling surgery due to retinal detachment, treated in Ophthalmology Clinic in Poznar. Additionally the aim was to diagnose the reason for muscles damage by means of the Hess screen.

Material And Methods: Seventy patients were treated with this method between 2007-2009 and the study group was built by 40 patients, treated in average 15 months before the examination, at the age 12-79 years (mean age 55 years and 8 months).

[The results of the treatment of the cataract in children and youth treated in Ophthalmology Clinic in Poznań].

Cataract is a leading course of a treatable blindness and serious visual impairment in children. Treatment, especially in one-sided cataract is a challenge and it is connected with the risk of complications. The decision to perform a surgery in older children with already coexisting amblyopia is not easy to make.

[Central serous choroidoretinopathy--the characteristics of the clinical picture and the evaluation of the influence of general conditions at the prognosis and the course of the disease. Metaanalysis].

Central serous choroidoretinopathy (CSCR)--recurrent disorder characterized by the detachment of neurosensory retina and/or detachment of the RPE in the posterior pole, caused by fluid leakage from choroidal vessels, coming through retinal pigment epithelium layer. The aim of the following paper was to create a historic revue of examinations of CSCR and modern description of signs and symptoms of this disease. CSCR may be present in various clinical forms with different prognosis, and therefore also all kind of retina and choroidea lesions were described.

[Central serous choroidoretinopathy (CSCR)--the diagnostics, monitoring and treatment].

There are many clinical forms of central serous choroidoretinopathy (CSCR) with different prognosis. Although fluoresceine angiography still plays the most important role in the diagnosis of CSCR, it should be pointed out, that examination with retinal thickness analyser and optical coherent tomography is a modern and non-invasive method of retinal examination, which can provide with some significant and reliable observations helping in objective monitoring of CSCR. The aim of this paper was the description of diagnostic methods and analysis of optimal methods used for monitoring of CSCR.

[Disadvantageous course of ophthalmological changes in young women with long-lasting diabetes mellitus followed by the symptoms of anorexia nervosa].

Purpose: To present the course and progression of very severe proliferative retinopathy in young women with long lasting diabetes mellitus and symptoms of anorexia nervosa.

Material And Methods: The data of 5 young women, in age 25-32 years, suffering from diabetes mellitus 15 to 29 years with intended weight lose. The progression of ophthalmological changes was observed, followed by considerable fluctuations of glucose blood.

Acute retinal pigment epithelitis in 18 years old patient.

We report case of acute retinal pigment epithelitis (ARPE), a very rare ophthalmic disorder, which has a very good final visual prognosis. The 18 years old woman was examined by ophthalmologist for sudden visual decrease of vision and dark spot in visual field of her left eye. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the left eye at the initial diagnosis was 0.

[Cataract in persons over 90 years old].

Purpose: To evaluate effect of age over 90-ty on cataract surgery course, perioperative period and final corrected visual acuity.

Material And Methods: A case series of 34 patients aged over 90 years (39 eyes) undergoing cataract extraction between 1993 - 2000 was studied. Detailed ophthalmological examination (best corrected visual acuity, tonometry, retinometry, anterior and posterior segment exmination, ultrasonography scan A and B), before and after operations was performed.

[The evaluation of macular thickness in patients with retinal detachment treated with conventional surgery--preliminary report].

The aim of the study was to evaluate retinal thickness in macular area (before and after surgery), and its correlation with visual acuity in patients with retinal detachment treated conventional surgery. Twenty eyes of 20 patients, treated in our clinic and eyes of 20 healthy subjects without any ocular pathology were evaluated. Retinal thickness in macular area (obtained with retinal thickness analyzer RTA - TALIA Technology) and visual acuity achieved after surgery compared with ocular pathology before and after surgery were analyzed.

[Influence of Eqb 761 on the function of the retina in children and adolescent with long lasting diabetes mellitus--preliminary report].

Purpose: Early detection of patological function of the retina, before anatomical changes, plays very important role in monitoring of visual complications in patients with diabetes mellitus. The aim of the study was the evaluation of anatomical and functional changes in visual organ in children and adolescents with long lasting diabetes mellitus type 1 and taking Egb 761 (Tanakan Beaufour Ipsen) as an adjuvant.

Materials And Methods: Group consists of 15 patients, age between 11 and 19 years, with diabetes mellitus lasting 6-12 years.

[Incidence and the progression of the acute-phase of the retinopathy of prematurity in infants hospitalized in Neonatology Department of University of Medical Sciences in Poznań].

Purpose: The assessment of the epidemiological data of acute-phase of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Material And Methods: Infants with birth weights less than 1500g and birth dates between April 1, 2002, and May 30, 2003, admitted to special care baby unit in Department of Neonatology in Poznan, were examined. The incidence of retinopathy of prematurity, infants sex, multiple births, the onset of acute-phase ROP (considering the day of life and postmenstrual age) and also the day of life, at which the treatment was started, were analysed.
