title: [The fundus oculi in the hemiplegic patient].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The fundus oculi is useful for observation of the interior of the eye and the retina. This study establishes a relationship between patients with established cerebral infarcts and the results observed in their fundi.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective study of the clinical histories of 177 patients seen in the rehabilitation department over a period of one year.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patients were aged between 29 and 85 years. The majority were men; 101 patients (57.06%) had systolic-diastolic arterial hypertension. On study of the fundus oculi there was a predominance of alterations of the blood vessels of the retina due to vascular sclerosis (93.1%) but only 24.4% had frank alterations caused by arterial hypertension.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We found a slight relation between arterial hypertension and the alterations observed in the fundus oculi of these patients.
