ECTASIA (BULGING) OF THE SCLERA.
Cases of this kind are adduced by Schleich and Mayer, in dogs, in which there was a corresponding bulging or even an absence (coloboma) of the choroid and retina. With a large protrusion of the sclera behind, there was a shrinkage of the front of the globe (microphthalmos), so that an atrophy might be suspected. The condition is irremediable.
