As a result, it has become a well-recognized clinical entity which is, however, frequently undiagnosed because of the scarcity or absence of subjective symptoms. Objectively, there is often a dearth of physical signs, so that the condition becomes recognized only at postmortem examination. A fairly recent development...Bibliography1.
