Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ophthalmic Review, Vol. 8: A Monthly Record of Ophthalmic Science
In another case. A girl of 13, whose sight had been failing 8 years, and who had passed through an attack of keratitis, I found numerous ?oating bodies in the vitreous of each eye. They were in association with extensive disease of the choroid, and with atrophy of the discs. The case may be regarded as one of slowly progressive choroido-retinal disease, consequent on syphilis. I quote these cases as decidedly exceptional, for more usuallv disease of the eye consequent on inherited syphilis, clears away after an acute attack, and does not become chronically aggressive. They also confirm the observation that vitreous opacities imply implication of the retina, and do not go with choroiditis only.
