[Disturbances of fusion after extensive retinal haemorrhages in new-born infants (author's transl)].
Follow-up examinations of 21 non-squinting children aged six revealed, that most children who had had extensive bilateral post-partum retinal hemorrhages had a significantly higher incidence of impaired range of fusion (25 degrees max.) as compared to the cases without perinatal hemorrhages. Not a single case of impaired fusion could be improved by orthoptic treatment. The disorder is assumed to be due to a discrete perinatal impairment of the cerebral optomotor centers.
