Abstract

The purpose of this study was to present the actual performances of the imagistic techniques for the complete investigation of secondary glaucoma. For this aim there were selected patients from the Ophthalmologic Clinic Cluj-Napoca. They have been submitted to ultrasound investigations, fluorescein angiography and magnetic resonance imaging techniques. Ultrasound techniques: A-scan, B-scan and Doppler allow to track and discriminate the ocular and orbital diseases which can offer the bases of correct diagnosis in secondary glaucoma. The color Doppler assures a good visualization of neovascularization, tumoral vascularization, arterio-venous abnormalities. Magnetic resonance imaging completes the data obtained by ultrasound and fluorescein angiographique techniques. The imagistic techniques associated with the clinical features offer the bases of the diagnostic and proper therapy in secondary glaucoma.
