Abstract
During the last five years , I have had under my sole
charge in private practice the care of ten cases of
Haemorrhage into the Internal Capsule. I have made
a practical study of these cases, by writing . graphic methods and by photography . These notes and records
form the basis of this thesis.
I shall endeavour to make it as practical as possible
and shall therefore give an account of these ten cases
and then state my own observations regarding the etiology,
pathology, prognosis, and treatment of these
ten cases.
A most important question after cerebral haemorrhage
is "will the patient be able to walk again, and if so
to what extent?" I have made this subject of AFTER GAIT
a special study. I shall show by photographic records
the characteristic gait that comes on after a cerebral
haemorrhage into the Internal capsule.
I shall describe the first case - that of A.P. more fully
than the others as it is a very typical case and serves
well to illustrate the symptoms of cerebral haemorrhage
into the internal capsule .The after gait in each case
has been recorded in which the patient was sufficiently
able to walk , to make an intelligent record
