Intra-ocular gnathostomiasis.
INTRA-OCULAR helminthiasis is very rare in temperate regions (Ashton, 1960) and comparatively rare in the tropics. Invasion of the human eye by Gnathostoma spinigerum is rarer still, although many cases in remote and backward areas may have gone unreported. The most recent was that reported from Burma by Ko Gyi (1960). Gnathostoma spinigerum was first recovered from a gastric tumour in the tige...

Taenia echinococcus infestation is by far the rarest of the parasitic diseases of the eye, only eleven cases having so far been reported in the li...
متن کاملNormal intra-ocular pressure.
INTRA-ocuLAR pressure varies from individual to individual, from right eye to left eye, and from time to time. Many manometric studies have been made on experimental animals but observations on human eyes have been few: Wessely (1915, 1916) found an average of 22 5 and 18X5 mm.
