Kerato-acanthoma in Ocular Pathology.

THE main interest of kerato-acanthoma (molluscum sebaceum) is its resemblance to squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin: it is, however, benign and even self-healing, and it seems very likely that an appreciable number of lesions diagnosed as malignant in the past, and followed-up as such, were in fact examples of this condition, so that a mistaken diagnosis may result in gross over-treatment and ...

Rabies: ocular pathology.

Ocular pathology in the first European case of human bat-borne rabies is described. The patient was a 30-year-old bat scientist who seven weeks after bat bite developed neurological symptoms and died 23 days later. Rabies virus antigens were detected in brain smears. After extensive virological studies the virus turned out to be a rabies-related virus, closely resembling the Duvenhage virus iso...

Torticollis secondary to ocular pathology.

We report a series of 15 children, six male and nine female, of average age 20 months, seen at a paediatric orthopaedic clinic with torticollis. Orthopaedic examination revealed a normal range of neck movement in all cases but in seven there was palpable tightness in the absence of true shortening or contracture of the sternomastoid muscle. The patients were prospectively referred for ocular ex...
