Excerpt from Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences, Vol. 2: A Yearly Report of the Progress of the General Sanitary Sciences Throughout the WorldMotor Centres - Brissaud relates the history, with results of post-mortem, of a man affected with recurring attacks of right hemiplegia, facial paralysis, and aphasia, which lead him to expres the belief that the facial centre for movements is on the ascending parietal operculum immediately posterior to the inferior extremity of the fissure of Rolando, this spot being the site of an isolated lesion of yellow softening in the patient whose history is related. A very interesting and instructive case illustrating the surgical value of a knowledge of cerebral localization is reported by Péan. The patient, a girl aged 4 years, was accidentally shot in the right eye, the bullet a small one - entering the deeper cere bral structures after traversing the orbit. The acute symptoms were not of localizmg significance, but later there developed a left facial paresis with complete flaccid monoplegia of the left arm. A trephine-opening over the mid-rolandic area of the right side revealed an abscess occupying the arm-centre. The pus was evacuated, the cavity drained, and a perfect recovery subsequently attained. Fai'lcashj-i, communicates a note upon the value of the movements of the head and eyes in the localization of cerebral disease. Mitra relates several clinical cases illustrating the application of principles of localization to cerebral surgery and diagnosis.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
