The authors refer about highly effective and in our ophthalmology not yet described method of surgical treatment of complicated cataract in patients with high degree of preexisting astigmatism over 3.0 cylindrical diopters. According to the etiology of astigmatism, in the group, there are patients with cataract and high ametropia after previous corneal transplantation and patients with cataract and preexisting high ametropia without any previous surgery. The referred group consists of 14 patients (19 eyes), and 9 of them (9 eyes) underwent in the past penetrating keratoplasty (PK) due to keratoconus at our department. The common sign of this subgroup was unsatisfactory postoperative refraction and later on the progressive cataract development. The other part of the group consisted of 5 patients (5 eyes) and they underwent no surgery in the past. For the surgical treatment of cataract and astigmatism at once we have used the individually manufactured silicone toric intraocular lens made by the company Human Optics (type MS 6116 TU). The average age of the whole group at the time of the cataract surgery was 51.5 +/- 6.8 years (range, 39-66 years). The group consisted of 8 women (57.1%) and 6 men (42.9%). The average duration of the period between the keratoplasty and the cataract surgery was 4.8 +/- 3.6 years. The uncorrected visual acuity before the cataract surgery was 0.10 +/- 0.11, and the best-corrected visual acuity was 0.39 +/- 0.22. The average value of the preoperative refractive error was +3.4 +/- 5.0 dioptres (range, -11.0 to +10.0 dioptres) and -6.4 +/- 2.3 cylindrical dioptres (range, -12.0 to -3.0 cylindical dioptres). The average follow up period was 9.6 months (range, 4-18 months). In the postoperative period we noticed improving of the uncorrected visual acuity to the value 0.50 +/- 0.26, and the best-corrected visual acuity improved finally to 0.56 +/- 0.26. The final average refractive error decreased to 0.44 +/- 0.86 dioptres and -1.8 +/- 0.77 cylindrical dioptres.

Outbreak of exogenous Fusarium endophthalmitis after cataract surgery was evaluated. Twenty patients developed postoperative endophthalmitis. In 19 eyes, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) was performed, in 14 cases (74 %) with primary intraocular lens explantation. In one case, the PPV was not performed because of poor general condition of the patient. Symptoms of endophthalmitis (damaged vision, iritis, tyndallization in anterior chamber, hypopyon) occurred at intervals of 16-79 days (mean 31.3 days). Fungal etiology was documented in 12 eyes (60 %). Fusarium oxysporum was evidenced by culture and/or microscopy and confirmed by PCR and sequencing analysis. Eighteen (90 %) patients were treated with oral voriconazole (400 mg/day) for a period of 4-6 weeks. The final visual acuity was 6/15 in 1 case (5 %), 6/60 and worse in 17 eyes (85 %), and in 2 cases (10 %), enucleation had to be performed. Viscoelastic filling material was suggested the most likely source of infection. Endophthalmitis caused by Fusarium spp. are a potentially big threat for patients with serious impact on vision. Successful management of the infection is highly dependent on early diagnosis including species identification and antifungal susceptibility testing, and on aggressive and long-term treatment.

INTRODUCTION: Ozurdex® (Allergan Pharmaceuticals, Castlebar Road, Westport, Ireland) is an intravitreal implant containing 0.7 mg of dexamethasone. It is indicated in adult patients for the treatment of diabetic macular edema, cystoid macular edema due to central retinal vein occlusion, and in patients with non-infectious uveitis. Common complications after Ozurdex® administration include an increase in intraocular pressure, cataract progression or conjunctival suffusion. Acute retinal necrosis after Ozurdex® administration is a very rare and serious complication. According to our current research, this is the fourth published case. Extreme caution must be exercised when treating immunosuppressed patients with Ozurdex®. CASE REPORT: This is case report about an immunosuppressed 68-year-old patient with diabetic macular edema, who developed acute retinal necrosis 74 days after Ozurdex® implantation. He suffers from chronic myeloid leukemia and takes the cytostatic imatinib 400 mg once per day. Urgent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with silicone oil instillation was performed and antiherpetic drugs were initiated intravenously. Serological examination confirmed an active infection of cytomegalovirus etiology (CMV). CONCLUSION: Acute retinal necrosis is a rare necrotizing retinitis. Corticosteroids administered intravitreally reduce the local immune response, which may cause a primary infection or reactivation of a latent viral infection.

The authors present the ophthamological finding in a patient who at the age of 4.5 months was admitted due to a finding of total bilateral congenital cataract. The patient was observed by a neurologist for central hypotonia and mental retardation. Upon a complex examination of the patient, suspicion of Lowe syndrome was stated, which was confirmed by a metabolic examination and also by genetic tests. Upon an examination of the family, a genetic defect (mutation of OCRL1 gene) was confirmed also in the mother of the patient. A mild subcapsular opacification was present in the mother, beneath the posterior capsule. The patient was operated on for bilateral congenital cataract. Upon an examination under general anaesthesia, trabeculodysgenesis was diagnosed. Intraocular pressure remains within the norm. The patient is now aged 8 years, regularly monitored with regard to metabolic compensation, and by a neurologist and ophthalmologist, with satisfactory visual functions. Early diagnosis of the Lowe syndrome was determined on the basis of a complex examination of the patient within the framework of etiological diagnosis of bilateral congenital cataract. Key words: Lowe syndrome, oculo - cerebro - renal syndrome, congenital cataract, glaucoma, nystagmus.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is one of the most dangerous and least understood diseases with a pathophysiology that is still largely unknown. In this article we try to provide a pathophysiological explanation of the etiological, pathogenetic, and clinical aspects of ALS. After a description of the rather complicated classification of the disease, we continue with an evaluation of its clinical presentation. The bibliography reveals several suspect etiological factors including atherosclerosis, inflammation, tumors, cataracts, diabetes mellitus type 2, aging, and degeneration of the nervous system. One of the more intriguing factors involves changes associated with oxidative damage to both neurons and glial cells. It is known that astrocytes support the development of motor neurons. Oxidative damage is known to lead to the expression of stress sensitive genes, proteins, as well as inflammation of glial cells. Chronic inflammation could be a key factor in ALS since it has been linked to the death of motor neurons. Pathophysiological research has confirmed the influence of certains proteins on the prognosis of ALS. ALS is typically a proteinopathy in which proteins aggregate in motoneurons. Additionally, glutamate excitotoxicity has also been linked to ALS, with mutated superoxide dismutase (SOD1) having been shown to be responsible for familial ALS. As concerns the pathogenesis of ALS, we discussed several phenomenon such as increased levels of specific serum compounds, reduced concentrations of myelin, and changes in 5-hydroxytryptamine that could represent key indicators of the pathogenesis, prognosis, and therapy of ALS. Concerning ALS therapy; treatment with antioxidatives is potentially very important. Exposure to heavy metals is also thought to negatively influence ALS. Evidence also suggests that good nutrition is a very important factor in the treatment of ALS. From a pharmacological perspective, serotonin treatment appears to be a useful therapeutic agent.
