ABSTRACT
The visual evoked response transfer function of amblyopic subjects was studied. Strabismic amblyopes showed abnormalities only in the high spatial frequency range. Anisometropic amblyopes on the contrary, showed an abnormal function both in the low and high spatial frequency range. This is an objective correlate of functional differences between strabismic and anisometropic amblyopes.

A 26-year-old female showed a bilateral ophthalmoscopic picture of pigmented paravenous retino-choroidal distrophy 19 years after neuro-retinitis following measles. Pigmentary disturbances in the fundus were not reported in 1963 clinical record; however functional tests are at present practically unchanged. Some debated aspects of this condition are discussed.

A case iatrogenic rupture of the stomach due to gastric wash carried out to treat a child of 5 yrs who had swallowed antineuralgic tablets is reported. This is the first reported case. It is concluded that all instrumental techniques should be carried out with maximum caution and delicacy.
