Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Medico-Chirurgical Review, and Journal of Practical Medicine, Vol. 38: January, 1841
Mr. Stanley observes that the examination of the body, in this instance, was witnessed by many competent observers - that it proves the uncertainty of our knowledge of the functions of the anterior and posterior columns of the cord - and, finally, that we have no means of explaining the continuance? Of sensation and motion in the upper limbs, while the cervical portion of the cord exhibited such alteration of structure. If well-authenticated cases are on record, in which destruction of a portion of the cord throughout its entire thickness has not led to the abolition of sensation or motion below the seat of disease, that does not, unfortunately assist in elucidating, how ever it may support such cases as the present.
