Pernicious Anaemia with Retro-bulbar Neuritis.

A case of exophthalmos with unilateral partial ophthalmoplegia affecting the inferior rectus and inferior oblique muscles associated with a basal metabolic rate of -4 per cent. and mild general symptoms of thyrotoxicosis in a male aged 31 years is described. The effects and significance of 3 injections on successive days of 600 organon units (1,200 Schoeller urits) of the thyrotropic hormone of the anterior lobe are discussed. I express my thanks to Dr. Powell, Southend Eye Hospital, for her kindness in referring this case to me at the Moorfields Eye Hospital.
