[Photocoagulation in the combined treatment of tuberculous chorioretinitis]. 1994

V M Khokkanen

The paper summarizes the ten-year experience with photo-coagulation in tuberculous choriorenitis. The radiation of xenon, argon, neodymium photocoagulators was studied in 85 rabbits by using a tuberculous choriorenitis model. The advantage of applying all the types of radiation is that the scarring of inflammatory foci is accelerated, however, histological studies have revealed that xenon and argon radiation destroys the focus into a limited depth, while neodyium destroys the whole focus with definite parameters, but severe complications being noted, which do not allow its use in patients. The safest and most effective radiation among those under study is that argon laser radiation is employed, and the developed coagulation procedure showed it possible to use it in patients with central chorioretinitis with preserved baseline functions.
