Amobarbital （Isomytal）による弱視の治療

Treatment of amblyopia with amobarbital narco-analysis

　私は昨年の臨床眼科学会に於て「大脳に於ける視覚の抑圧と薬物による治療」と題する報告を行つたが，この中には真性及び比較弱視の例数が充分でなかつた。その後23例25眼の弱視についてAmobarbital麻酔分析法を従来の弱視療育法にとり入れて行つた所，見るべき効果を収めることが出来たのでここに報告する。

23 cases of amblyopia (25 eyes consisting of 10 eyes with pure amblyopia and 15 eyes with relative amblyopia) were treated by amobarbital narco-analysis with the combina-tion of routine pleoptic treatment. Remarka-ble improvement of the visual acuity appea-red during the narco-analysis but some repea-ted injections were necessary to maintain good vision. Dramatic effect was obtained in 40% of the cases, moderate effect in 32%, slight effect in 8% and none in 20%. 4 cases of them were pretreated with previous rou-tine pleoptic treatment for 3 to 24 months without peculiar effect but amobarbital could bring superior results.
