The causes of asynchronous variations of the intensities of OIII ions forbidden lines in the spectrum of compact planetary nebula IC 4997 are considered on the basis of the observational data of. It is shown that the rise of the intensity of line 4363 å and decrease of the intensities of N1 and N2 lines may be best explained by increase of mass-loss-rate from nucleous from 5 × 10–8 up to 2 × 10–7 M/yr within a few years (at constant nucleous effective temperature), with appropriate change of ionization structure of nebula. The arguments of existence of variable hot stellar wind are discussed. The theoretical intensities of lines are calculated by the ionization model of planetary nebulae [4], gyven the radiation fields of the nucleous and hot stellar wind with electron temperature Te= 500000 K.
