Zur Nervendehnung bei Tabes dorsalis (Berl. klin. Wschr., 1881/8, 4 pp.). Westphal's contributions to medical science are many; in 1871 he coined the term "agoraphobia", when he observed that three male patients of his displayed extreme anxiety and feelings of dread when they had to enter certain public areas of the city.[1] He is credited with providing an early diagnosis of "pseudosclerosis", a disease known today as hepatolenticular degeneration. He also demonstrated a relationship between tabes dorsalis (nerve degeneration in the spinal cord) and paralysis in the mentally insane. Westphal is credited with describing a deep tendon reflex anomaly in tabes dorsalis that later became known as the "Erb-Westphal symptom" (named with neurologist Wilhelm Heinrich Erb (1840-1921). His name is also shared with neurologist Ludwig Edinger (1855-1918) regarding the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, which is an accessory nucleus of the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve number III; CN III). He was the first physician to provide a clinical description of narcolepsy and cataplexy (1877). French physician Jean-Baptiste-�douard G�lineau (1828-1906), also described the two maladies, coining the term narcolepsie in 1880. -cf. wiki. Seller Inventory # 53439
