未熟児の眼所見—（2）未熟児哺育の指針としての意義

Ocular findings in the premature infants: (2) Their significance as a guide for the nursing plan

Ⅰ．緒言

　生後早期に未熟児の眼科的検査を行つた文献は極めて少く，またほとんど統計的報告に止まつている。保坂は先に，眼科的には近視，眼底の蒼白，眼底血管の狭細，乳頭の蒼白，の4項目が未熟と思われる所見であると述べたが，その後ほぼ満足すべき例数に達したので，成熟児280例の所見と比較して，これらの所見が1％の危険率で未熟児に多く見られることが確認された（第1表）。

　今回は眼所見と全身所見との関係を検討し，眼科的検査の重要性を認めたので報告する。

Both the eye and systemic findings in 79 new born infants with birth weight of less than 2500g. were studied for and following results were obtained:

1) All the infants who weighed less than 1500g at birth showed signs of prematurity in the eye as well as in the system.

The premature signs diminish in proportion to the birth weight.

2) In most cases, the infants having the premature signs in the general condition showed the premature signs in the eye also.

3) When the premature signs in the eye are taken as a guide for deciding prematu-rity, more appropriate nursing plan will be made early in the post-natal period.
