After a brief bibliographical introduction the author's report on 14 cases of cavernous degeneration of the optic nerve, based upon the study of 1,831 autoptic cases. All the subjects examined showed lesions of a senile degenerative type in the vessels afferent to the retro-laminar segment of the optic nerve. The pathogenetic mechanism of the lesion under examination seems therefore to be attributable to ischaemic cause of a chronic type. Myopia and glaucoma, if present, would also seem to contribute, as they cause disorders of the blood system in this region.
在简短的文献介绍之后，作者基于对1831例尸检病例的研究，报告了14例视神经海绵状变性的病例。所有接受检查的受试者在视神经管后段传入血管中均显示出老年性退行性病变。因此，所检查病变的发病机制似乎可归因于慢性缺血原因。近视和青光眼（如果存在）似乎也有影响，因为它们会导致该区域血液系统紊乱。
