This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 Excerpt: ... cord, forming the disease called by Striimpell polioencephalitis. The cranial nerves may then become affected and the patient shows signs of bulbar paralysis as well. These severer types are more apt to be seen when the disease is epidemic. In other rare instances there may be hemiplegia simulating cerebral paralysis. Paraplegia is rare. Many cases will only show a paralysis involving one group of muscles, as the peroneal type. As the motor cells in the anterior horns are arranged in groups, the muscles involved will be found to have a coordinated physiological function. The limb affected is apt to be cooler than the other parts, and an atrophy soon affects the paralyzed muscles. The wasting may be noticed within a week or two, and at two or three months becomes very marked. Eventually various deformities result as the growth of bone is arrested and the whole limb becomes smaller. Where only one or two groups of muscles are affected by atrophy, the opposing healthy muscles will produce other deformities. In old cases, where a whole limb has been affected, there will be various grades of subluxation from a relaxation of the muscles and ligaments around the joints. The knee and shoulder are particularly apt to be involved in this way. The electrical reaction of muscles and nerves may prove helpful in recognizing the disease. While the galvanic and faradic responses may be increased in the first two days, there is soon a loss of response to the faradic current with a reaction of degeneration to the galvanic current shown by the anodal closure contraction being greater than the cathodal closure contraction. If the part affected responds to faradism within a few weeks it will probably not be permanently paralyzed. Fig. 80.--Foot drop in anterior poliomyelitis. ...
