also some inflammatory exudate in thesubdural space. F. c, central vessels; E., exudate in the subdural space;Ch.y choroid ; i?., retina ; H., hemorrhages. ^lagnified 14 times. The ophthalmoscopic image in this case resembles thatshown in Figs. 17 and 18. Fig. 16. Inflammation of the Optic Nerve and the Adja-cent Portion of the Retina in Syphilis (so-called SpecificNeuroretinitis).—There is a marked blurring of the opticnerve and its surroundings, due in part to the diffuse centralopacity of the vitreous. The peripheral portions of the eye-ground in this case are not diseased, but in many cases theyare the seat of foci of disseminated choroiditis in variousstages. The picture before us is characteristic, or at leaststrongly suggestive, of syphilis. The opacity may disappear under appropriate treatment,but usually leaves a more or less pronounced atrophic dis-coloration of the nerve. Minute foci of choroiditis maydevelop in the periphery in the course of the disease. V \ / y Fig. 16.

Fig. 17. Fig. 17. Intense Inflammation of the Optic Nerve (Papil-litis) after meningitis caused by a blow on the head.—Theinflammation in both eyes has led to marked infiltration ofthe tissues of the nerve, manifesting itself in grayish-whitepatches and striae on the papilla and surrounding portions ofthe retina, and in the hemorrhages at the lower outer borderof the discolored areas. The diameter of the nerve is enlargedand the nerve itself moderately swollen and prominent. Owingto the presence of inflammatory product in the tissues of thenerve, the venous flow from the retina is impeded and theveins are therefore distended and tortuous (patient belongingto Prof. Eichhorsts clinic). The microscopic appearance corresponding to this picturewould be about the same as that shown in Fig. 13, 6. 1 \A^ 1^
