The visual field in advanced glaucoma.
For analysis of the morphology of the visual field in advanced glaucoma, we tested 62 eyes of 54 late stage glaucoma patients using program 10-2 on the Humphrey Field Analyzer. The fields, which were already reduced to a small central isle, had mostly typical, asymmetric borders with their largest extend to the temporal lower quadrant and their smallest extend to the upper nasal quadrant. An upper nasal step was very frequent. The boundaries are equivalent to the retinal nerve fiber lines. Actually, the glaucomatous isle is a 'centro-coecal isle', representing a remnant of intact maculo-papillary nerve fiber bundles. A test with a 2 degrees spacing like the Humphrey program 10-2 proved to be useful for routine perimetry in these cases.

Pharyngeal swallowing in patients with paresis of the recurrent nerve.
Pharyngolaryngeal function during swallowing was investigated cineradiographically in 22 patients with paresis of the recurrent nerve. Nineteen of these patients (86%) had defective closure of the laryngeal vestibule: 10 patients had defective apposition of the corniculate cartilages, (paresis of the oblique cricoarytenoid muscle), 9 patients had defective apposition of the arytenoid cartilages, (paresis of the interarytenoid muscle), 13 patients had defective movement of the epiglottis (paresis of, i.a. the thyrohyoid muscle), 1 patient had defective closure of the subepiglottic portion of the vestibule (paresis of the thyroepiglottic muscle), 2 patients had defective closure of the supraglottic portion of the vestibule (paresis of the superior ventricular segment of the thyroarytenoid muscle). Five patients with immobility of the epiglottis also had paresis of the pharyngeal constrictor musculature indicating paresis of the superior laryngeal nerve. Our investigation has shown that patients with paresis of the recurrent nerve who present with dysphagia with or without aspiration should be examined cineradiographically for pharyngolaryngeal function during swallowing.
