Synopsis

This book is a seminal study of polynévrites, a group of diseases that affect multiple nerves throughout the body. First described in the mid-19th century, polynévrites were once thought to be a neurological condition distinct from diseases of the spinal cord. However, the author's extensive research, drawing on the work of many other notable scientists, shows that they are actually caused by damage to the peripheral nerves, which transmit signals between the spinal cord and the rest of the body. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the various forms of polynévrites, their causes, symptoms, and treatments. It also discusses the historical development of our understanding of these diseases, from their initial identification to the present day. The author's insights have greatly contributed to our knowledge of polynévrites and their impact on the nervous system.
