[The ophthalmologist and child victims of abuse].

Among clinical manifestations of the battered child syndrome, ophthalmic manifestations play a prominent role in the recognition of this syndrome. From personal cases, the authors describe different ocular findings, specially intraocular hemorrhages with the important risk of sequelae. They show the role of the ophthalmologist among several situations. As the ophthalmologist may be the first to examine these traumatized infants his prompt recognition is important to take all necessary steps.

[Uveitis and multiple sclerosis: myth or reality?].

The authors have examined three hundred cases of sclerosis (prospective study of an hundred patients, retrospective study of two hundred observations) in order to assess the frequency of uveitis during the disease and to make out a possible relation between the two diseases. The percentage of uveitis is small: 2% and the frequency of uveitis in multiple sclerosis appears not different of that of a normal population. In spite of the simularity of the pathogenic hypothesis, it does not look that a correlation may be made between the two diseases.

[The child's vision and its measurement. Comparative results of different tests of visual acuity in children as a function of age].

The authors describe a new test for determining the visual acuity in pre-school children. It is a picture-test which is composed by pictures of animals of varying sizes, the child being asked to name them in turn. The six pictures (duck, rabbit, cock, elephant, fish, and butterfly) with an homogeneous density, can be utilized according to several manners-appariement or verbal expression--and several distances: 2,50 m or 5 m. That test gave good results on children aged from three years upwards, however the performances could be increased by prectising exercises.
