This book expands on the research of Dr. Weir Mitchell (1870s) and Professor Charcot (1870s), whose work forms the cornerstone of the study of post-paralytic Chorea. The author builds on the acclaimed research of these neurological pioneers, providing a meticulously detailed examination of a group of symptoms known as post-paralytic Chorea, a phenomenon frequently accompanied by a sensory symptom - hemi -anaesthesia. The author presents two well-documented case studies that demonstrate a clear relationship between lesions on limited parts of the brain and the development of specific symptoms, also noting a rare correlation with paralysis of the third nerve on the right side accompanied by body palsy on the left, and, in a second case, hemiopia, which has previously been dismissed as non-existent by Prof. Charcot. The author argues that the precise location of the various lesions can be used to understand which symptoms will appear, which parts of the brain control the bodyâs functions, and how, as in the case of the third nerve palsy, seemingly unrelated symptoms can be correlated to a single lesion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
