Excerpt from The Ophthalmic Review, Vol. 12: A Monthly Record of Ophthalmic Science; August, 1893 Pathological Examination - The yellow infiltration of the cornea is seen to be more in the anterior layers than in the deeper parts of it. A yellow mass fills the lower two-thirds of the anterior chamber. The iris and lens are in situ. The retina is thickened, and the optic disc swollen. Microscopical Appearances. - There is Slight diffuse round cell infiltration throughout the whole cornea, but there are two areas in the sections where it is much more intense than elsewhere. These correspond to the two Sides of the ring described in the clinical notes. One of these areas Of infiltration commences on the inner Side of the wound. The layers of fibrous tissue Of the cornea immediately beneath the epithelium are not the most involved, but those about the middle of its thickness. There is some accumulation of cells between Descemet's membrane and the fibrous tissue. Between the lips of the wound is a thin layer of cells; the fibrous tissue external to it is but little infiltrated. In the anterior chamber there is a delicate network of fibrinous material supporting numerous round cells with dividing nuclei. Material presenting a Similar appearance is seen in the circumlental Space and in the anterior portions of the vitreous. There is Slight round cell infiltration of the iris and ciliary body. Case II. - Wound a little inside centre of cornea. Excision less than twenty-four hours later. Nearly complete ring of infiltration.
