The Heidelberg retina tomography II (HRT II) in glaucoma diagnostics.
Heidelberg retina tomograph II (HRT II) v diagnostice glaukomu.
Sdělení informuje o nových poznatcích v etiopatogenezi glaukomu a nových diagnostických možnostech u pacientů s glaukomem. Trendem je diagnostikovat glaukom v co nejčasnějším stadiu, ještě před postižením zorného pole, a léčbou předcházet glaukomovému poškození papily zrakového nervu. Podrobně informujeme o přístroji Heidelberg retina tomograph II (HRT II) a jeho možnostech v diagnostice glaukomu, ve sledování průběhu onemocnění a hodnocení úspěšnosti terapie glaukomu. Na příkladu tří pacientů nastiňujeme limity vyšetření a možné problémy s diagnostikou glaukomu u rozměrově extrémních papil zrakového nervu.

Overview
The communication informs about new pieces of knowledge in the etiopathogenesis of glaucoma and on new diagnostic potentials in patients down with glaucoma. The present trend is to diagnose cases of glaucoma in as early stage possible before any alteration of the visual field appears, and by treatment to prevent damage of the papilla of the optic nerve. Presented is detailed information about the Heidelberg retina tomography II (HRT II) and its potentials in the diagnostics of glaucoma, in the follow-up of the course of the disease and assessment of successful glaucoma treatment. On a sample of several patients adumbrated are its limits in examination and possible problems with diagnostics of glaucoma in optic nerve papillae of extreme dimensions.
Key words:
