AN OBSERVATION ON THE CONJUNCTIVAL VESSELS IN MENIFRE'S DISEASE

Nippon Jibiinkoka Gakkai Kaiho, 1959
1) The conjunctiva in 30 cases of Meniere's disease were observed magnifying 25_??_40 times and compared with that of 30 healthy persons.2) Tendency for constriction, dilatation or irregularity of blood vessels, lumpy flow of blood, and blood sludge (though slight in degree), were observed in the former group but not in the latter.3) Even when the ...
