The Cerebral Palsies of Children (Classic Reprint): A Clinical Study From the Infirmary for Nervous Diseases, Philadelphia

Excerpt from The Cerebral Palsies of Children: A Clinical Study From the Infirmary for Nervous Diseases, Philadelphia Dividing the motor path into an upper cortico-spinal segment, extending from the cells of the cortex to the gray matter Of the cord, and a lower spino-muscular extending from the ganglia of the anterior horns to the motorial end plates, the palsies which I propose to consider have their anatomical seat in the former, and may result from a destructive lesion of the motor centres, or of the pyramidal tract, in hemisphere, internal capsule, crus or pous. Certain general features define sharply from each other palsies of the upper and lower portion of. The motor path. When the latter is affected, as in the common Infantile spinal palsy, poliomyelitis anterior, we have the combina tion of paralysis with rapid wasting, early loss of reﬂexes, absence of rigidity and marked changes in the electrical reactions. On the other hand, in involvement of the upper segment, when the lesion is cortico-spinal, any where from the motor cells of the cerebrum to the gray matter of the cord, there is paralysis with spasm or disordered movements, exaggerated reﬂexes, neither rapid nor extreme wasting and normal electrical reactions.

History

On Chorea and Choreiform Affections (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from On Chorea and Choreiform AffectionsThe epidemic disorder of motion which Paracelsus called Chorea Sancti Viti has a sort of prescriptive right to the name. Sydenham's error in adopting it for an affection of a totally different nature has been condoned by two centuries of usage; so that to these two forms, known respectively as chorea major and chorea minor, and each as St. Vitus's Dance, the name will doubtless cling. Then comes a long series of motor disorders in which the term has been freely used - the habit spasms and the various forms of tic so often confounded with chorea minor, the so-called symptomatic choreas, the chronic, the hereditary, the. Congenital, and the spastic forms, and the pre and post-hemiplegic disorders of motion.These various affections may be grouped and defined as fol lows: Chorea. Minor - Sydenham's chorea - an acute disease of child hood, rarely of adults and of the aged, characterized by irregular, involuntary movements, a variable amount Of psychical disturbance, and associated very often with arthritis and endocarditis. The disease is usually regarded as a neurosis, but the clinical characters of the severer cases, and the frequent heart and joint implication, have suggested to many recent writers that it may be due to a specific poison.Chorea. Major, under which term are now embraced both the dancing mania and the various forms of rhythmical or hysterical disorders of motion. Psychical impressions, emotional disturbances, and imitation play the most important 7076 in this form.Choreiform Affections or pseudo-choreas. - The various forms of habit spasm or tic, local or generalized, which are perhaps best grouped - under the latter' term, in the more extended use as employed by the French.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
