disturbances of bladder function have been described as vesical
crises, and recent French observers have observed so-called crises
clitoridiennes in female tabic patients which were characterized by
voluptuous sensations. All of these symptoms have these in
common: that they last but a short time, that their disappearance is
as rapid as their advent, and that they depend for their distribution on
the attitude of the disease in the cord. The vesical crises are more
apt to occur early than late in the disease and where the belt
sensation is in the hypogastric region. The gastric and enteric crises
are usually found when the belt is in the epigastric level, and the
bronchial, cardiac, and laryngeal crises when it is in the thorax and
neck. Some connection has been observed between the occurrence
of the lightning-like pains and these crises. Thus, a sudden cessation
of the former is sometimes the forerunner of the latter. It is also
found that one variety of these crises disappears to give way to
another: this is particularly noticed with the bronchial crises, which
often cease suddenly, to be followed by vomiting.
22 Krause, in a paper read before the Society of Neurologists at Berlin
(Neurologisches Centralblatt, 1885, p. 543), found either laryngeal crises or other
laryngeal symptoms, such as demonstrable ataxia of movement of the vocal cords, in
13 out of 38 cases. This proportion would be far too high for tabes in general; his
cases were probably advanced ones. He established the interesting fact that the
laryngeal crisis may sometimes be provoked by pressure with a probe on the superior
laryngeal nerve at its laryngeal entry-point. Jastrowitz claims to have determined the
existence of actual paralysis of the vocal cords with the crises, but Krause concludes
from the experimental inductibility of the crisis that it cannot be due to a posticus
paralysis. In a discussion on the subject Remak affirms that a unilateral paralysis of
the crico-arytenoideus posticus may be an early or the earliest symptom of tabes. It
seems, however, that in all cases where he determined such paralysis there had been
disturbances of function of other cranial nerves in unusual severity at about the same
time.
23 They must be extremely rare: they have not occurred in a single one of my 81
private cases, nor do I recall one in clinic or dispensary experience.
There is some analogy between the exceptionally-occurring mental
disturbance of tabic patients and the crises. Like them, it resembles
a disturbance of innervation, in this instance the centres regulating
the cerebral circulation appearing to be at fault. It also seems as if in
cases of this character the direction of the mental disturbance were
determined in some sense by the emotional relations of the
oblongata, for the insane outbreak usually consists in a brief but
extreme outburst either of a depressed and melancholiac or an
expansive maniacal or delirious outburst. It is a very rare occurrence,
and usually limited to the latest stages. Much more common is the
development of paretic dementia, but this is to be regarded rather as
a complication than an integral feature of tabes. Most tabic patients
retain their mental equilibrium to the last moment; some develop
truly heroic resignation to their terrible sufferings and gloomy
prospects; and a few, becoming irritable, petulant, and abnormally
selfish, show the effect of invalidism manifested equally with other
chronic diseases.
26 Boyer (Revue de Médecine, 1884, p. 487) records a case where the hip became
luxated spontaneously as an early symptom.
The connection between the morbid process in the spinal cord and
these remarkable arthropathies is as yet unexplained; and as
Charcot's original proposition, that they can be always referred to
lesions in the anterior horns of the gray matter, has not been
sustained, some of the German clinicians, notably Strümpell, are
inclined to attribute them, in part at least, to ordinary results and
accidents due to the anæsthesia and its disturbing effect on
voluntary and automatic joint protection. A controversy arose which
was participated in by the Clinical Society of London,27 and evoked
opinions from nearly all the eminent neurologists of Europe. The
result of this thorough discussion has been to establish the joint
affection as a true tabic symptom due to the same morbid process
which underlies the less enigmatical symptoms of the disease. One
of the best reasons for regarding these joint lesions as of trophic
origin is the fact that they are associated with textural bone-changes
by which they become either unduly soft or brittle, and therefore
exposed to apparently spontaneous fracture. Cases of fracture of
almost every long and some of the short bones are recorded, among
the most remarkable being one by Dutil,28 where fracture of the
radius occurred without adequate cause in the initial period of tabes;
and one by Krönig,29 in which the patient, who had been tabic for
eight years, broke a lumbar vertebra while catching himself in the act
of falling down stairs.
27 The question was formally raised by Morrant Baker at the December meeting in
1884, and the discussion participated in by Charcot himself. Among the opponents of
Charcot's theory were Jonathan Hutchinson and Moxon, the latter of whom
administered a sound and well-merited criticism regarding some of the premature, if
not sensational, announcements of the distinguished French neurologist. He
compared the joint lesions of tabes to decubitus: just as the latter can be avoided by a
proper protection of the exposed parts, so the former would not occur if the joints
could be kept in a, surgically speaking, normal state. Moxon seems to have forgotten,
in suggesting this comparison, that there is a form of decubitus which will occur
independently of the greatest care and in spite of every measure taken to arrest it,
and which can be attributed only to an obscure but active perversion of nervous
nutritive control. Barwell, Paget, Herbert Page, Broadbent, and McNamara agreed
that the joint lesions are not of surgical or rheumatic origin, but essentially signs of the
nervous affection. Although Barwell's claim, that the rheumatic and tabic joint
diseases are essentially different, because the former is hyperplastic and the latter is
atrophic, is not borne out by all cases of tabic joint disease, some of which are
certainly hyperplastic, yet the other reasons advanced for regarding these affections
as distinct, and considering the joint affection of Charcot as a trophic disorder, far
outweighed those advanced by the opponents of this view. In fact, the only ground the
latter had to stand on was the fact that Charcot's asserted anatomical foundation was
found to be chimerical.
32 Berliner klinische Wochenschrift, 1885, No. 12. In this unique case the loosening
and falling out of the teeth preceded the tabes by a year. Demange, who observed the
same phenomenon in two cases, found that the ascending root of the fifth pair was
involved. The only analogous observation in my experience relates, like the bleaching
of the hair in circular patches, to a case of spinal irritation: here the gums and alveolar
borders underwent atrophy, exposing the roots of the teeth to beyond the normal
alveolar border: first the right upper row, then the right lower row, and finally the teeth
on the left side in the same order, showed this condition; only the most posterior fell
out.
34 Thirteen patients are now under my observation, or I have been able to obtain
reliable medical information concerning their condition, who have been in the ataxic
period since the date of my first examination, varying from a year to seven years ago.
Not one of these patients is materially much worse than at that time. Two only died,
both being bedridden at the time they came under observation. Of the first group,
three have shown more or less lasting improvement in respect to special symptoms,
as will be detailed in connection with the treatment.
35 In a case of sudden death, with an asthma-like seizure, of a tabic patient under the
charge of T. A. McBride, I found an intense injection of one (the right) vagus nucleus,
the color of the ala cinerea and of the nucleus on section being almost black.
It has also been supposed that the morbid process began in the
posterior roots and crept in with these, thence extending upward.37
This view is opposed by the fact that there is no constant relationship
between the root lesion and the cord lesion; the sclerosis of the root-
zones within the columns of Burdach I found to be absolute in at
least one case where the outer nerve-roots were not distinctly
affected.38
37 Takacs is the most recent defender of this view.
38 The root lesion may, like that of the column of Goll, according to a minority of the
interpreters, be a secondary process, for in ergotin tabes (Tuczek) both are usually
intact.
The triangular field in the lumbar part of the posterior column, which
is one of the typical starting-points of the affection, contains those
ascending nerve-bundles which in their cephalic course emancipate
themselves from the column of Burdach and constitute the slender
columns of Goll. The result is that the degenerative process creeps
up these columns at the same time that it ascends in the root-zones
and deep portions of Burdach's columns. Some authorities regard
this as a mere extension by contiguity;40 others incline to consider it
a secondary degeneration. It may extend to the medulla oblongata,
becoming lost in the level where the nucleus of the column of Goll
terminates, and is accompanied, at least in those advanced cases in
which the upper extremities are involved, by a comma-shaped area
of degeneration in the adjoining part of the column of Burdach, which
similarly extends into the oblongata and terminates slightly more
cephalad. In typical advanced tabes, therefore, the cross-section of
the cord exhibits a characteristic distribution of the sclerosis in each
level. As this distribution is associated with certain constant
symptoms, it is permissible to attempt bringing certain features of the
lesion in relation with special features of the disease symptoms. The
posterior gray horns and the posterior white columns, together with
other fibre-systems connected with them, are much more
complicated in structural and physiological relations than the
corresponding anterior structures. The relations of the anterior
rootlets to the gray substance, and those of the motor ganglionic
elements to their controlling tracts, are comparatively simple; those
of the posterior roots are very intricate. They run up, in great part, at
an angle to the longitudinal tracts; a few pass in directly, and still
fewer dip to a lower level. The result is that a section of the cord
made in the longitudinal direction through the root-zones, so as to
pass from the root-entry to the anterior commissure, shows the
column and root-fibres to be woven into each other like a plait.
Trabeculæ of connective tissue, dragged in as it were with the
posterior roots, fill up the interstices of this labyrinth. They are
particularly dense in the lowest part of the lumbar enlargement of the
cord, constituting the so-called posterior processi reticulares. It is
reasonable to suppose that the overlapping of ascending and
descending root-fibres, associated with the presence of an extra
amount of connective tissue, imbedded as this fibre-maze is in that
part of the cord which is most distant from its lymphatic emunctories,
affords a favorable soil for slow inflammatory trouble. This is the
primary field of tabic sclerosis, and in it the disease may remain most
intense for years, extending but slowly and with diminishing intensity
upward, hand over hand, as it were, on the natural ladder which the
intertwined fasciculi and their matrix constitute. The longitudinal
tracts which lie in and near the root-zones belong to the so-called
short fibre systems, uniting the segments of higher and lower levels
of the cord with each other. As the sclerotic process ascends it
involves the caudal ends of these systems: they consequently
undergo secondary degeneration, and, shrinking in their turn, affect
the caudal part of the next system above in the same manner. The
morbid process in the column of Burdach may therefore be
considered as a combination of inflammatory and degenerative
changes, the inflammatory products causing a series of short
ascending degenerations, and the vulnerable path thus established
being followed by a cirrhotic condition in which the connective and
vascular structures participate actively. With regard to the reasons
for regarding the degeneration of the column of Goll and that of the
comma-shaped field near it as a secondary process due to the
cutting off of its apparent nerve-supply at the caudal end, and of the
posterior nerve-roots or their provisional terminations, they may be
stated in this way: When the lesion of the primary field is limited to
the lower lumbar or sacral part of the cord, the degeneration of the
column of Goll is limited to its postero-internal part; when the upper
lumbar and lower dorsal cord is involved, the entire tract is affected;
and when the cervical portion is diseased, the supplementary
comma-shaped area degenerates. In other words, the projection
tract of the sciatic nerve, as far as it is represented in Goll's column,
suffers in the first, that of the crural nerves in the second, and that of
the brachial nerves in the third instance. In all advanced cases of
tabes the affection of the column of Goll is in direct proportion to the
altitude of the lesion in the primary field. Symptomatically, it bears an
equally constant relation to the ataxia.41 No case is on record in
which these columns were totally degenerated without some motor
inco-ordination of the lower extremity having been observed during
life; and no case is recorded in which brachial ataxia had been a
marked and persistent feature in which the comma-shaped area—
area of the column of Burdach—was healthy.
40 It is held by them that the histological character of the change of the columns of
Goll is not different from that in the column of Burdach. Zacher (Archiv für Psychiatrie,
xv. p. 435) urges that it does not resemble true secondary degeneration, beginning in
the vessels and connective substance instead of the nerve-fibres. Schultze (ibid., xiv.
p. 386), on the other hand, recognizes a primary involvement of the nerve-fibres in
both of the areas of fascicular degeneration in tabes. The observation of intact axis-
cylinders by Babinski in the sclerotic fields is in conflict with the latter's claim, and the
various differences of observation and interpretation seem to be reconcilable only on
the assumption that there are two different modes of origin, both leading to nearly the
same results and occasionally combined in one and the same case.
41 Krause's case and others show that the ataxia of movement is not influenced by
lesion of the column of Clarke; but we are not informed as to the static equilibrium of
the patients in whose cords these columns were found intensely affected.
43 The column of Goll is not present in those mammals which, like the porpoise, have
no developed hind limbs, but these animals have urinary bladders.
44 I have also found that this field corresponds to the column of Goll in its myelinic
development: the lumbar part of this column—designated as such by Flechsig—is an
entirely different tract, which enjoys a remarkable immunity from disease in tabes.
As illustrating the bearing of the lesion of the column of Goll on the motor ataxia I may
refer to two cases which happen to be related side by side by Strümpell (Archiv für
Psychiatrie, xii. p. 737, Cases 1 and 2). As far as the lumbar segment of the cord is
concerned, the distribution of the lesion is similar; but in the one presenting marked
motor ataxia the triangular field was slightly diseased, and there was no upward
extension of the lesion in the column of Goll. In the other, with marked ataxia, the
triangular field was intensely diseased, and ascending degeneration (?) occurred in
the sciatic fields of the latter.
While the evidence of high lesion of the cerebral continuation of the column of Goll,
and, what I regard as its homologue, the comma-shaped area of Burdach, together
with the constant association of marked degeneration of these columns with motor
ataxia, is strong positive proof of its relation to this symptom, there is equally strong
evidence negativing its relation to any other of the prominent symptoms of tabes
dorsalis. Thus Babesin (Virchow's Archiv, lxxvi. p. 74) found degeneration of the
posterior columns limited to the column of Goll, and the patellar reflex was not
destroyed; the root-fields at the upper lumbar levels were intact. That the columns of
Goll have been found profoundly affected without bladder disturbance has been
stated previously, and constitutes a stronger argument against Strümpell's view than
the frequent observation of bladder trouble in spinal diseases, along with which these
columns may be entirely free.
The changes in the optic nerve resemble those of the white columns
of the cord in their naked-eye and minute character as well as in the
controversial nature of the various interpretations made. When
affected, the nerve is found to be firmer than normal, and discolored;
later it becomes quite gray, and may eventually shrink to two-thirds,
and even less, of its normal diameter. It is generally believed that, as
in the cord, the myelin undergoes wasting before the axis-cylinder
disappears, and that the latter may survive a long time, thus
explaining why the patient may retain his visual power for a
considerable period after the ophthalmoscope determines the
existence of atrophy. No satisfactory explanation has as yet been
offered for the optic-nerve affection of tabes. There is no direct
continuity of the spinal and optic sclerosis. Two theoretical
possibilities suggest themselves. The first is that the lesion of the
cord exerts a remote effect upon the physiological, and through this
