[Diabetic retrohialoidian hemorrage--invasive minimal treatment].

Subhyaloid hemorrhage is defined as a localized detachment of vitreous from the retina caused by the accumulation of blood, which can lead to sudden and severe loss of vision when it takes place in the macular area. The treatment ranges from conservative to posterior vitrectomy depending on the cause, age and the status of other eye.

[Etiopathogenesis in macular edema and therapeutic approach].

Macular edema is one of the most frequent cause of low vision with very different causes. It is a non-specific response to the change in the permeability of blood-ocular barrier. The tendency of the retina to form cistoid macular edema is little understood.

[Avastin treatment in intraocular tumors].

Bevacizumab is used in the treatment of cancer where it inhibits tumor growth by blocking the formation of new blood vessels (blocking angiogenesis). The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the short-term safety and effectiveness of Avastin injected into the eyeball in cases with intraocular tumors following-up the subjective and objective postoperative results.

[Atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium after macular hole surgery].

We present three cases of macular hole. After macular surgery we observed good anatomical results (closed macular holes) but poor functional results. We try to identified the element who produced atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium.

[Characteristics of ocular detachment after refractive surgery].

The myopic eye subject to refractive surgery maintains a high risk of retinal detachment (RD). We present the difficulties of endo-ocular surgery on patients with previous radial keratotomy as well as the particular aspects of RD in patient with LASIK. RD in lens refractive surgery eyes is not essentially different from RD on pseudophakic eyes.

[In vivo study of effects of some alkyl-phenyl-pyridinium compounds after their exposure to optical UV beams].

The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of some alkyl-phenyl-pyridinium compounds (which are in fact cytostatics) on the pseudotumoral tissues after their exposure to optical UV- vis beams.

[Examination and investigation of the vitreous body].

The vitreous is a part of the ophthalmological pathology not well enough known and explored. For the moment it is considered the poor relative of the examination of the posterior pole. The new technical progresses had brought though many usefull information in interpreting the vitreoretinal changes.

[Fungal endogenous endophthalmitis--case report].

This paper presents a particular case of endogenous candida endophthalmitis, at a patient with lots of risk factors; the correct diagnosis was relatively late; it had been surgically solved by posterior vitrectomy.

[Aspects of optical coherence tomography in diabetic retinopathy].

Optical coherence tomography is a new and very useful technique for diabetic patients. It is used to determine the early changes in diabetic retinopathy and to help the ophthalmologist to choose the appropriate therapy.

[Retinal detachment with giant tears].

Retinal detachments are one of the greatest challenge for the vitreoretinal surgeon. Giant tears have a special place among them because they need a special equipment and experience. We are presenting here our experience concerning this type of tears.
