A Case of Pachymeningitis Hómorrhagica Interna following Sunstroke

Abstract

J.B.C., admitted November 25th, 1865. Aged 32. Single.—His mental derangement appears to date from a sunstroke which he had five months before in Florence, and he was in consequence detained at the Royal Asylum in that city. No mental defect had been noticed previous to this, nor was there any family history of insanity; he is said to have been steady in his habits.
