鉗子分娩による眼障碍の珍らしい1例について

A Rare Case of Birth Injury of the Cornea

　出産時に於ける新生児の眼障碍についての報告は非常に多い。然し角膜の溷濁と前房内に糸状物乃至膜様橋架物を伴うものの報告は極めて少ないと思われる。所が我々は，今迄の報告に見られなかつた様な角膜溷濁を伴い，前房中に銀色に輝く糸状物が存在し，而もその糸状物が角膜と連絡を有していないと云う珍らしい眼障碍の1例を観察し得たので，此処に報告して多方の御参考に資したいと思う。

Patient was a 7 year-old boy whose birth had been so difficult as to necessitate the use of forceps. He visited the Ophthalmic Clinic of tne University of Osaka on Sep. 2, 1953 (at the age of 2 years) and Oct. 28, 1956 (at the age of 5). His right eye might have been injured during instrumental delivery and the vision was 0.15 (v.n.c.). The deeper layers of the cornea were cloudy and silver-gray strands of silk-thread-like material could be found ru-nning from above downward and to be free in the anterior chamber. All these strands attached at each end to the anterior surface of the iris and were independent of the cornea perfectly.
