History of a Remarkable Case of Varicose Aneurism, with Observations

Abstract

THE subject of varicose aneurism has been lately SQ fully and ably treated by M. Breschet*, and its pathology has received from him so much patient and acute investigation, that the present state of our knowledge furnishes little which can be added to his history of the disease. A fact, however, has lately come under my observation, which is not adverted to as even possible, either-by M. Breschet, or any preceding writer that I am acquainted with, and which, from its practical importance, seems to me of sufficient moment to be made the subject of a separate communication to the Society.
