IN the Arch. f. Augenheilk., Bd. 109, of 1935, a description was given of a series of cases of congenital retinal folds and attention was drawn to their close relation to cases of pseudoglioma, caused by congenital retinal detachment. Therefore the name of " ablatio falciformis congenita " was chosen. Furthermore, it was shown that this congenital abnormality is in most cases familial and probably hereditary.
