title: [The clinical course of an embolism of a branch of the retinal artery (author's transl)].
abstract: The way in which a varying amount  of blood runs past an almost obliterating yellowish-grey, homogenous "embolus" in a branch of the artery is shown. Finally although the "embolus" remained, there was an almost normal blood flow in amount. Retinal arteries running downwards showed changing vascular spasms, sometimes at the origin, sometimes further away from the central artery. This produces reversible scotomas. A small artery running nasally is sometimes better and sometimes worse supplied with blood. Temporary and permanent scotomata develop. Haemorrhages appearing here vary in extent.
