Abstract
Much of the extensive literature with regard to the anatomical and pathological relationship between the optic nerves and the nasal accessory sinuses is reviewed. Statistical material as to optic neuritis and papilledema at Washington University is summarized. There is often a definite relationship of cause and effect between nasal sinus disease and optic neuritis; early diagnosis is necessary; and there should be no hesitancy in advising surgery when the evidence is reasonably definite and loss of sight is imminent. Read before the Saint Louis Ophthalmic Society, November 22, 1929.
