Diseases of the eyes (ophthalmology)

Syndrome of "morning light"

Syndrome of "morning light" is a very rare, usually one-sided sporadic condition. Bilateral cases of the disease (even more rare) can be hereditary.

Coliboma of the optic nerve

The coloboma of the optic nerve disc is a consequence of incomplete closure of the choroidal fissure. This is a rare condition, usually sporadic, but there is also an autosomal dominant inheritance.

Druises of the optic disc

Drusy disk (hyaline body) - consisting of hyaline-like calcifications material in the thickness of the optic disc. Clinically present in about 0.3% of the population and are often bilateral.

Demyelination is a pathological process in which myelinated nerve fibers lose their insulating myelinated layer. Myelin, phagocytosed with microglia and macrophages, and later astrocytes, is replaced by a fibrous tissue (plaques).

Ischemic optic neuropathy

Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, unrelated to arteritis, is a partial or total infarction of the optic disc, caused by the occlusion of the short posterior ciliary arteries.

Eye damage with toxoplasmosis

Depending on the time of infection, they distinguish congenital and acquired toxoplasmosis.

Tuberculous chorioretinitis

With disseminated tuberculosis chorioretinitis, ophthalmoscopy reveals different prescription and forms of foci in the choroid and retina.

Eye damage in rheumatism

At the root of tissue changes in rheumatism is the systemic disorganization of connective tissue, the deepest in the heart and vessels, in combination with specific exudative-proliferative reactions and the defeat of the vessels of the microcirculatory bed, which are found in all organs.

Septic retinitis

Septic conditions observed after childbirth, in patients with endocarditis, cerebrospinal meningitis, pneumonia, etc., are often complicated by retinitis.

Eye damage with syphilis

With syphilis at different periods of its course, the cardiovascular, central nervous system and other organs, including the eye, are affected. There are changes in the skin of the eyelids and conjunctiva. The cornea, the vascular tract of the eye and the retina are affected more often.
