D., aged sixty-three, was first seen by Dr. Green wood February 19, 1906. Patient stated that sight of left eye had been blurred for a week. No pain at any time. Examination: left eye, light perception only, pupil normal, tension normal. Fundus shows hemorrhages everywhere, veins much dilated, dark and tortuous, arteries small, outline of disk obscured. Retina very hazy. Diagnosis: thrombosis central retinal vein. Right eye, vision normal, fundus normal, with the exception of a questionable thickening of the walls of some of the retinal vessels. General health good. Physical examination negative, heart normal and no evidences of general arterio-sclerosis. Urine examination negative for albumin and sugar. Thirteen days later the left eye became very painful, and an unbearable neuralgia involved the left side of head. When seen on the following day the left eye was found congested and stony-hard, the pupil dilated and showing a grayish-green reflex, the cornea steamy, and the anterior chamber almost obliterated. No perception of light. Under ether, iridectomy was attempted, but only a small section of the iris could be removed. This only partly relieved the pain and slightly reduced the tension. Owing to the severe pain, enucleation was performed March 10. 1906, twenty-six days after the onset of dimness of vision and six days after the onset of glaucoma.
