A remarkable feature of the case was that some escape of fluid occurred from the left breast during coitus. As a possible means of throwing light on this subject it may be added that the patient was unusually vigorous, and during the nursing of her two children she had more than the ordinary amount of milk (galactorrhea), which poured from the breast constantly.
Since this time the breasts had been quite normal, except for the tendency manifested in the left one under the conditions given. Cases of menstruation through the eyes are frequently mentioned by the older writers.
Bellini, Hellwig, and Dodonaeus all speak of menstruation from the eye.
Jonston quotes an example of ocular menstruation in a young Saxon girl, and Bartholinus an instance associated with bloody discharge of the foot.
Guepin has an example in a case of a girl of eighteen, who commenced to menstruate when three years old.
