title: [Evaluation of the rate of ophthalmologic complications of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To detect very early changes of the visual organ among 156 young patients with diabetes mellitus.
  
  
  METHODS
  Beyond the traditional ophthalmological examination, the fluorescein angiography and electroretinography were performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  On the whole, the changes were confirmed in 56 children (35.8%). Diabetic retinopathy was observed in 24 cases (15.4%), changes of the lens revealed in 52 children (33.3%). Among 40 children examined with electro-retinography 25 had decreased amplitude and prolonged latency of oscillatory potentials.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Fluorescein angiography is the more sensitive method of examination than routine ophthalmoscopy. Electro-retinography seems to be important in the diagnosis of early changes of diabetic retinopathy.
