The transconjunctival cryoapplication was performed in 8 patients (13 eyes) with the recurrent pars planitis and the simultaneous involvement of peripheral retina and choroid. Before the surgery, the peripheral fundus of the eye was examined with the Goldmann three-mirror lens and afterwards, the cryoapplication of lesions was performed. The topical treatment, dexamethasone and indomethacin drops, followed the surgery only. In all cases the inflammation disappeared but the macular edema and vitreal exudation regressed slowly. The considerable improvement of visual acuity was achieved in 8 eyes (61%). So far, the results of the observations are satisfactory and they entitle the authors to carry on the application of the treatment mentioned above.
