Osteotomy of the Femur as a Treatment for Tuberculous Disease of the Hip in its Early Stages

Abstract

clinical conl)iliation miay be produced in quite a different way, as imiay be seeni by reference to a very remarkable case, prtviously cited fromii l'ick, of destruction of the auditory wordt enitrie in eaclh heinispheret. These aie tlh onily, cases of "isolated word deafness" known to mne. " It will be seen from whlat I lhave said that this rare group) of symiiptoms is capable of being induced in two very diltlrent modes-just as we sliall find subsequently thlat wlhat 1Wj'erine lhas called " pure word blindness" may also be produced in two dillerent modes, and that the modes are analogous in the two cases. I'ick was fully aware of the very unusual niature of Ihis case. Hle recognised that it could not be a case of subcortical word deafness of Liclhtheim's and D1)jerine's type, thiougl lie was not prepared to advance any othier interpretation. 31irvalli(I, hlowever, has been so very uncritical as to cite it" as ani example of D6jerine's type, notwithlstaniding the fact of the existence of the double cortical lesions occupying the sites of tlhez auditory word ceiitres.
