“…Moreover, as reported by Butler et al [35], various prominent English clinicians, such as Wilks [38], Gowers [39], and Bury [40], in a period of about 30 years, placed the mental disorders of MS in a secondary position.…”

“…In the period between the end of the 19th century and the First World War, considering also the descriptions of Wilks [38], Bury [40], and Gowers [39,44] as well as that of Ross [26], the following can be said about cognitive disturbances: (1) they were considered mild and rare or unusual by the majority, or frequent by a minority; (2) some considered cognitive disorders a reaction to the disease; (3) in the advanced forms, the mental deterioration could be severe; and (4) the conjunction between affective-emotional disturbances and cognitive disturbances persists.…”

Cognitive disorders are now considered an integral part of the picture of multiple sclerosis. If we trace the history of the accounts of this disease, from the early descriptions by Jean-Martin Charcot, the first to provide systematic characteristics of multiple sclerosis, to present-day accounts, reports of cognitive disturbances have demonstrated an alternating trend. Cognitive disturbances were identified in the beginning, quite clearly for the times. Then, for a long time, they were considered infrequent or attributed to other factors. Finally, since the 1980s, cognitive disturbances have been the subject of increasingly in-depth studies, and are currently assumed to be a very important consequence of multiple sclerosis. In this work, the history of the description of cognitive disorders of multiple sclerosis will be retraced by analyzing the possible reasons for the differences in attention they have received over time. It emerged from the analysis that, as in the case of other pathologies, various factors have influenced how cognitive disorders have been taken into consideration. Some of these factors are inherent to the very nature of the cognitive impairments present in multiple sclerosis; others are linked to historical periods, or to the different ways of approaching the analysis of the phenomena caused by a disease. The reflections made on these topics should, among other things, increase our awareness of how scientific investigation is invariably placed in the historical context in which it is carried out.

Lipodystrophia Progressiva

QUITE recently two genuine cases of lipodystrophia progressiva in males have been published. J. Gerstmann's case [33] is that of a soldier, aged 32 years, who at the age of 10 years commenced to show symmetrical wasting of the subcutaneous fat in the face. Since then the fat-atrophy has gradually spread over the neck, upper extremities, and trunk, as far as the pelvic bones (the inguinal folds and the iliac crests). There is excessive amount of subcutaneous fat in the buttocks and lower extremities. The muscular development in the lean parts is very good. The man presents likewise signs suggestive of thyroidal disturbance, " facial irritability," alimentary glycosuria, and some nervous symptoms, which may, however, not be in any way related to the lipodystrophia. H. Gerhartz's case [34] is that of a man, aged 29 years, whose " lipodystrophia progressiva superior," as Gerhartz prefers to call it, commenced at the age of 6 years, after an accident on the ice in which the patient nearly lost his life. In this case, however, there is no excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat in the buttocks and lower extremities. The patient shows various other abnormalities (" facial irritability," hyperidrosis, alimentary glycosuria, &c.), the connexion of which with the fat-atrophy is by no means clear. Lipodystrophia progressiva is a rare disease or morbid condition, which was at first supposed to be confined to the female sex. It is characterized by the progressive disappearance of the subcutaneous fat from the face and upper parts of the body. The term " lipodystrophia progressiva" was introduced by A. Simons (1911), and the appearance in his case as portrayed in his and E. Holliinder's illustrations (1910) may be accepted as altogether typical for the disease [1]. Though Simnons.was undoubtedly the first to use the term lipodystrophia (from the Greek words Xt'7ro, Sv9-, and 'pocr', signifying respectively fat, badly, and nourishment), a characteristic example of the disease was In this paper the reference numbers in brackets are to the Literature references at the end.
