The Viennese ophthalmologist Leopold Knigstein (1850-1924) was a close friend of Freud's from their student days; it was at his house that Freud played in the Saturday night card games. "A companion to Freud and Rie's clinical study of the unilateral paralyses of children, completing Freud's investigation of all forms of childhood paralysis...Freud showed that each of these [four groups of] afflications could be caused either by congenital factors, factors active during birth, or factors subsequently acquired. He agreed with Knigstein, the recipient of this copy, that the strabismus accompanying infantile diplegia was due to retinal hemorrhage at or shortly after birth" (Norman).
