Organic Lesions

We had to observe a case of a very pronounced and prolonged Cheyne-Stokes breathing in a patient, representing the manifestation of diffuse organic lesion of the brain with simultaneous organic suffering of the heart and lungs. Since this case, in our opinion, is rare, then we allow ourselves to give a description of it here.

The Brain

Cheyne-Stokes breathing has been induced in 30 dogs by inserting a circulatory delay system between the heart and the brain to prolong the transit time of blood from the lungs to the brain. The duration of each cycle of Cheyne-Stokes breathing increased proportionately with the volume of the delay system and decreased as the perfusion pressure to the brain was increased. Periodic variations in oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the blood were found to be in appropriate phase to stimulate the respiratory centers at the time of maximal ventilation. This supports the theory that Cheyne-Stokes breathing is due to oscillation of the respiratory control system.

Vascular lesions, identical in appearance with the sequelae of organic diseases of the blood-vessels, have been found in a great variety of conditions (for instance in epilepsy, hypertension and cardiac disease, psychoses associated with infectious and toxic conditions, head injuries, certain groups of mental deficiency) in which no organic lesion of the blood-vessels themselves could be demonstrated. The theory has been put forward (Ricker, Spielmeyer and others) that these lesions owe their origin to functional disorder of the vascular system, and that this common factor accounts for the identity in histological appearance in spite of the profound ætiological differences.

Organic Lesions

A large number of works are devoted to the problem of studying auditory hallucinations. However, it would be wrong to believe that the issues related to this problem have been finally resolved. So, the features of auditory hallucinations in organic brain damage of various localization, in particular the frontal region, have not been sufficiently studied. Focal lesions of the frontal region are characterized by a variety of mental disorders related to the pathology of not only individual aspects of mental activity, but also consciousness and personality. The defeat of the frontal lobes is accompanied by disorders not only of the direct functions of this area, but also of other cerebral systems that disrupt their work due to changes in the impact of frontal mechanisms on these systems. With the defeat of the frontal lobes, hallucinations of various modalities occur, which are true. They usually arise simultaneously in several areas of the senses - auditory, olfactory, visual. Until now, data on auditory hallucinations in organic lesions of the frontal region of the brain, firstly, have not been generalized, and secondly, they have not been systematized.

Organic Lesions

Catalepsy is one of the most striking of the great group of functional disorders of the nervous system. In this country it is a rare disease, except in lunatic asylums, where, at least in a modified form, it is by no means uncommon. Among the recorded cases a considerable proportion occurred in women of a hysterical disposition. It has, however, been observed in many other conditions. Thus in some individuals it has been associated with gross organic lesions of the brain, such as tumours and softening; but these may be regarded as accidental coincidences, and not as essential to the disease. Malaria would seem to have been the agent in its production in a number of instances, this opinion being supported by the fact that the patients recovered under the use of quinine and other remedies with similar properties. A curious case is recorded by Vogt of an Alpine village near Würzburg, in which half of the population, both males and females, suffered from this disease. He states that the inhabitants had been much given to intermarriage, and that generally they are, or at least were—for his account was published in 1863—a small and deformed race. The seizures were of short duration, not generally lasting longer than five minutes. They were preceded by a chill, which was soon followed by a strange sensation in the arms and legs. Then the sufferers became deadly pale, while their limbs got stiff, and continued in the position they were in when the attack commenced.
