Abstract: For an algebraic function field $F/K$ and a discrete valuation $v$ of $K$ with perfect residue field $k$, we bound the number of discrete valuations on $F$ extending $v$ whose residue fields are algebraic function fields of genus zero over $k$ but not ruled. Assuming that $K$ is relatively algebraically closed in $F$, we find that the number of nonruled residually transcendental extensions of $v$ to $F$ is bounded by $mathfrakg+1$ where $mathfrakg$ is the genus of $F/K$. An application to sums of squares in function fields of curves over $mathbbR(!(t)!)$ is presented.
