Pathological - clinical correlations

Much of this paper results directly from collaboration with Dr. Richard Lindenberg. His interest in neuropathology as it concerns the visual pathways has become an avocation; for this I share credit with Drs. William F. Hoyt, J. Lawton Smith, and others. That Dr. Lindenberg is on the staff of the Wilmer Institute exemplifies Dr. A. Edward Maumenee's vision and foresight. Through Dr. Lindenberg's position in the Maryland State Department of Mental Hygiene, his association with the Chief Medical Examiner's office, and the opportunities within The Johns Hopkins Hospital, we enjoy a remarkable opportunity in what might properly be termed "postmortem neuro-ophthalmology." What we have observed in the laboratory often suggests application in clinical evaluations. I shall report on two of our studies which demonstrate the significance of our research on clinical-pathological correlations. The first study concerns indirect trauma to the optic nerve and chiasm. In 1962, a paper on the subject was presented
