Extract

The clinician's share in a discussion on psychoses of circulatory origin must be to provide, in the first place, a description of the characteristic clinical pictures. This would mean the enumeration of a rather puzzling variety of observations, among which it has until lately been rather difficult to find any systematic order. One could scarcely add very much to the classical chapter on arteriosclerotic psychoses in Kraepelin's text-book. Since, however, Dr. Krapf has singled out the hypertensive psychoses as a special group, the task is no longer one of pure description. The application of the achievements of general medicine to the field of hyperpiesis should have opened new aspects in cerebral vascular disease. Supplementing the fundamental ideas given in Dr. Krapf's own paper, I propose to give you a more detailed survey, with some illustrations.
