To the pathological anatomy of the spinal cord in diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Thanks to a number of works by various researchers, it became known that with diabetes, spinal cord disease occurs frequently, and the lesions take part (to a greater or lesser extent) that is very (W. Muller None), then very (Lеісlіtеntrіtt, wіllіаmsоn, Leyden) sub stations, the vascular system or finally the central channel (Diskinson). At that time, when the pathogenesis of the sugar disease was examined only from the point of view of C1. Vegard'a, that is, lesions of the bottom of the fourth ventricle, changes in the spinal cord in most cases were considered primary phenomena, and diabetics - as a consequence of the spread of a painful process from the spinal cord to the rhomboid fossa (Wеbісlісlе). Along with similar observations, which fully fit into the framework of the theory of a sugar injection, there were such cases of diabetes, where, when one or another lesion of the spinal cord was found, the medulla oblongata remained completely intact (Silver and Irvine, W. Miller). It goes without saying that these cases were waiting for their explanation. Dr. W. Muller in the case of diabetes studied by him was in a state to discover, over a considerable length of the spinal cord, the disappearance of the substance at the base of the anterior horns, replacing it with loose connective tissue.
