Spontaneous Fractures in General Paralysis [Des Fractures spontanées dans la Paralysie générale].(XIII Cong, internat, de Méd., 1900, Sect, de Psychiai.) Lalannc, M.

Extract

The author comments upon the rarity in general paralysis of spontaneous fractures, i. e. fractures arising from some slight cause, and out of all proportion to that cause,—when it is a known fact that in most maladies of the nervous system these fractures are comparatively common. When one remembers the deep and varied changes produced in the organism by general paralysis this is all the more remarkable.
