title: [Papillary edema in expansive intra-cranial tumors].
abstract: The aim was: correlation between frequency of papillary edema in intra-cranial tumours and to verify Romanian medical legislation for ophthalmoscopy. This paper is a retrospective study for a period of 2 years (2005-2006). We included in study 446 patients treated in Hospital "Sf Treime" Iaşi, Romania for expansive intra-cranial tumours. Ocular signs and symptoms (especially papillary edema) were observed for these patients. Mean age was 50.76+/- 18.30 years and in 46.87% of cases we found papillary edema in different stages.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  papillary edema depends after localization and size of intra-cranial tumours, histological aspects and its aggressivity.
