Synopsis

This book focuses on disorders of nutrition that may affect the skin, connective tissue, muscles, joints, and viscera, in consequence of lesions of the brain and spinal cord. The author compares the disorders resulting from traumatic lesions of nerves to those resulting from non-traumatic lesions and discusses the nutritive disorders affecting the eyes in cases of compression of the trifacial by tumors. The book also explores the inflammation of spinal nerves, consequent on vertebral cancer, on spinal pachymeningitis, on asphyxia by charcoal fumes, and other issues that can lead to cutaneous eruptions, muscular atrophy, and articular affections. The author analyzes the effects of lesions of the peripheral nerves on the skin, subcutaneous cellular tissue, muscles, joints, and bones, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between complete sections and incomplete or contused lesions, the latter of which can lead to a range of trophic troubles, including eruptions, ulcerations, and eschars. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the relationship between lesions of the nervous system and disorders of nutrition, offering valuable insights for understanding and treating these conditions.
