Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cerebro-Spinal Fluid; Its Spontaneous Escape From the Nose: With Observations on Its Composition and Function in the Human Subject
In this way the recognition of a single case of cerebro Spinal rhinorrhoea has led to the collection and considera tion of others occurring in literature, and has enabled me to give a description of a condition which will help to the discovery of other cases, and to a more complete study of the subject.
The patient in whom this curious phenomenon occurred attended the clinic of my colleague Dr. J. W. Bond, to whom I have to express my great indebtedness for kindly permitting me to make full observations on the case. Apart from the clinical aspect of the condition, the unique opportunity was afforded for making a series of observa tions on the composition and function of the cerebro spinal ?uid in the human subject.
These have already been published in vol. Lxiv of the 'proceedings of the Royal Society' in a conjoint paper by Professor Halliburton, Dr. Leonard Hill, and myself, and the conclusions arrived at have been incorporated in the following pages. I have to thank Professor Halli burton most cordially for freely placing at my disposal not only his very special knowledge of the physiological chemistry of cerebro-spinal ?uid, but also his valuable time in repeatedly making most thorough analyses of the various samples of ?uid I have submitted to him.
