Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores tabes dorsalis, a neurological condition that often develops years after an initial syphilitic infection and primarily affects sensory nerve fibers. Historically, tabes was thought to stem from sexual excess or exposure to cold. However, the author shows that syphilis is the predominant cause, with up to 90% of cases linked to prior infection. The author delves into the physiological and pathological mechanisms of tabes, discussing the degeneration of the posterior columns and posterior roots of the spinal cord, as well as the potential involvement of cranial nerves and the sympathetic nervous system. The book also explores theories on the pathogenesis of tabetic degeneration, including the role of spinal ganglia, meningeal inflammation, and lymphatic circulation. The author concludes that tabes is a dystrophy affecting the sensory protoneurone as a whole, and that it shares a pathological identity with general paralysis of the insane. This book provides valuable insights into the etiology and pathology of tabes, making it a valuable resource for neurologists, neuroscientists, and medical professionals seeking to understand this complex condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
