The Ophthalmological Complications of Leontiasis Ossea.
نویسنده
چکیده
Journal (Sorsby, 1939). The fundi in two brothers whose eye trouble dated back to the early twenties showed a sharplycircumscribed central area in which the choroidal vessels were sclerosed. It is suggested that these cases of choroidal sclerosis are allied to macular coloboma-coloboma on the one hand and " senile " macular degeneration due to choroidal sclerosis on the other, representing the two extremes of a continuous range of dystrophy in which the two cases of central choroidal sclerosis with onset in early life form a connecting link. Our thanks are due to Dr. A. D. Morris, Medical Superintendent of St. Leonard's (L.C.C.) Hospital and to Dr. K. S. May for the trouble they have taken to obtain the eye for examination.
