title: [Changes in the organ of vision in beta-thalassemia: clinical and morphologic parallels].
abstract: Ophthalmologic examination and morphologic investigations of the spleen were conducted in 10 patients with beta-thalassemia. Pathologic changes of vascular and dystrophic character were detected in the organ of vision, symptoms of angiopathy, hemosiderosis and spleno-cirrhosis were recorded in the spleen tissue. Clinical changes in the organ of vision were correlated with morphological shifts in the spleen tissue. A conclusion has been made that ophthalmologic examination of thalassemia patients could be useful for evaluation of severity of the main disease and effectiveness of the treatment conducted.
