This historical case report highlights the difficulty of diagnosing an obstructed aorta during life based on clinical symptoms alone.
THE case which I take the liberty of transmit- ting to the Medical and Chirurgical Society, hias, as far as I know but one parallel on record, and in it the appearances on dissection only are men.tioned.No history is given of the case.I believe I lhave extracted from the books of the Infirmary, such parts of the reports taken at the patient's bed.side as are of any importance, and have even noted some anomalous symptoms which may appear trifling, because it may perhaps be found that an improved state of knowledge may give import- ance to what at present seems adventitious and without value.I am sorry to say, that, as I can see no diagnostic symptom, the occurrence of this derangement adds but another chance to our guessing wrong during life at the diseases of the lheart.
