On the Relation of the Meningococcus Intracellularis to Pseudoglioma

Abstract

This term is used by clinicians to indicate appearances suggestive of glioma, but unconnected with new growth. Such appearances are most commonly due to a chronic metastatic ophthalmitis, and it is in this sense that we employ the word, leaving out of consideration other rarer conditions which may also be mistaken for glioma-e.g., persistent hyaloid artery, tubercle of the choroid, exudative retinal disease, &c.
