[Neuro-ophthalmologic and otoneurologic sequelae of injuries to the skull and brain].

Abstract

An examination was conducted in 310 persons surviving injuries of the scull and brain of varying severity. In 146 patients the acuity of vision, pupil reactions, the oculomotor function of the nerves, visual fields and ocular fundus were examined, employing florescent angiography in some cases: and in 164 patients the state of the acoustic and vestibular analyzers was studied. The neuro-ophthalmological sequelae of scull and brain injuries manifested themselves mainly in disorders of the acuity of vision and in alterations of the fields of vision, those of the ocular fundus being less distinct. Injuries of different levels of the acoustic and vestibular analyzers depended on the nature of the injury of the scull bones.
