[Limbo-conjunctival autografting in pterygium surgery].
To evaluate the efficiency of the limbo-conjunctival autografting in pterygium surgery. ⋯ When comparing the different methods used in the pterygium surgery in terms of relapse we noticed the increased efficiency of the limbo-conjunctival autografting. The encouraging results stimulate us in using and recommending this method.

Ocular surgery presents some particularities: local anesthesia continues to be the most utilized and it consists in topical corneo-conjunctival anesthesia and local or regional infiltrative anesthesia. The term of locoregional anesthesia is utilized in ophthalmology for the reason that the two forms of anesthesia could be associated. In this paper the authors insist on different types and methods of anesthesia utilized in ophthalmology and on indications and benefits of each method. There are also presented the incidents and complications of local anesthesia in ophthalmology.

The paper underlines the importance of the imagistic examination in the diagnosis and the therapeutical orientation in an orbital injury in a four year old child. The orbital injury ends with a foreign body (fragment of a pencil) in the orbit. The situation and the orientation of the foreign body was reveled by the computer tomography and the MIMICS program. Afterwards, the MRI exam ruled out a muscular injury and permitted a correct strabological diagnose and a correct strabismus surgery.

Rhinoethmoiditis at newborn is rare. Possible complications include orbital abscess, orbital cellulitis, intracranial complications. ⋯ Pathogenic links which involve this process began from cellulitis to orbital abscess, cavernous sinus thrombosis, cerebral abscess, meningitis. We present 2 cases of rhinoethmoiditis at newborn with orbital cellulitis, with the main differential diagnostic problems and therapeutical options.

The inflammation of the optic nerve called optic neuropathy could be an onset marker of multiple sclerosis. The authors review the place of optic neuropathy (neuritis) in the inflammatory demyelinating disease continuum, especially as the onset symptom of multiple sclerosis. We present the clinical symptoms, the aetiology of optic neuritis and the adjacent methods used to investigate optic neuritis. In the article are presented the actual criteria used to establish the multiple sclerosis diagnosis and the revised criteria for optic neuromyelitis, with emphasis on the differential diagnosis between these diseases.
