Development and current state of the doctrine of pathological and anatomical changes in dorsal tabes

Abstract

Soon after this work, the observations of Marotte, Marotte et Luys, Trousseau, Isnard, Iaccoud and many others appeared. others. In all these works, cases of tabes with an autopsy are described, in which, without exception, changes were found in the rear posts. Thus, more and more confirmed the opinion expressed by Bourdon, that the basis of Duchenne's ataxia is a change in the posterior columns of the spinal cord. But, on the other hand, cases were reported that contradicted the observations. So, in the cases of Monod, Duchenne, Lancereaux, Gillaret and others, all the signs of ataxia were noticed during their lifetime, and in between the opening did not show the slightest changes in the spinal cord. But Lancereaux and especially Duchenne found changes (the last ones are not described) in the small brain.
