Synopsis

A Manual Of Pathological Anatomy by Karl Rokitansky presents a comprehensive, atlas-like survey of abnormal conditions of the circulatory system and related lymphatic structures, drawn from autopsy observations, case descriptions, and surgical experience. Organized taxonomically by arteries, veins, and lymphatics, the work emphasizes morphological changes such as deposition and ossification, occlusion and rupture, and the healing or progression of vascular lesions. It details arterial pathologies including dissections, true and false aneurysms, and varicose processes, along with venous disease (phlebitis, thrombosis, phlebolites) and lymphatic involvement, tuberculosis, and cancer in lymph nodes. The volume integrates numerous named cases and post-mortem findings, cross-referencing mechanisms with structure and disease progression, and functions as both a descriptive atlas and a reference for metadata classification. Written in the 19th century, it foregrounds morphology and evolution over time and remains a foundational resource for anatomical-pathological correlation.
