Synopsis
A Manual Of Pathological Anatomy by Karl Freiherr Von Rokitansky. This work provides a comprehensive atlas and taxonomic survey of vascular and lymphatic pathology, detailing conditions affecting veins, small vessels, capillaries, and lymphatics, including occlusion, thrombosis, dilation, rupture, and adventitious growths. It covers how these changes interact with inflammation, infection (tuberculous and syphilitic processes), and neoplasia, and examines compensatory mechanisms such as collateral circulation, with emphasis on the portal vein and vena cava obstructions. The volume also surveys myocardium and arterial disease, endocarditis, valve pathology, aneurysms, cyanosis, and the interplay between heart–lung pathology. In addition, Parts IV–VII present an expansive taxonomy of anomalies and diseases of cellular tissue, serous and mucous membranes, and skin, describing hypertrophy, atrophy, inflammatory exudates, tubercle and cancer involvement, and adventitious formations, as well as their autopsy-based interpretation. The book serves as a reference lexicon for pathology and surgery, organizing complex tissue changes into a systematic framework.
