Pathology of the Central Nervous System: A Study Based upon a Survey of Lesions Found in a Series of Fifteen Thousand Autopsies

The present volume is an excellent work devoted mainly to the gross pathology of the brain and the nervous system. The author has studied fifteen thousand brains and spinal cords post mortem, twelve thousand of which came under his personal observation. From this vast amount of material he has organized a textbook which covers thoroughly the innumerable descriptive phases of his cases. The work follows, in general, classifications set up clinically. Part one is devoted to congenital anomalies and malformations, part two to diseases of the intracranial blood vessels, part three to infectious diseases of the central nervous system, part four to the effects of trauma, part five to intoxications, part six to diseases of unknown etiology and part seven to tumors of the intracranial and intraspinal spaces.
