Optic Nerve Involvement in Head Injuries.

the conclusion that the clinical nature of the inflammation was that of sympathetic cyclitis. I should like to think that Mr. Neame is right and that I was not to blame for retaining the exciting eye too long. I regret that as far as I can ascertain the exciting eye was not examined histologically. We have no pathological department at The West Bromwich Hospital, and send our eyes to The Birmingham Eye Hospital. I froze this eye and bisected it. It was obvious that the lens had been incompletely removed, but I noticed no thickening of the choroid or any other appearance to suggest that the inflammation was not of the ordinary type. The specimen ought to have gone to Birmingham for examination, but apparently was never sent there. My only excuse is that I am quite single-handed in my work at this Hospital, and often have to work under high pressure. Again thanking Mr. Neame for his helpful and comforting suggestions.
