Excerpt from Pathology and Treatment of Alopecia AreataBefore accepting the neurotic theory, the clinical history should point very strongly in that direction, or the microscopical examination should show changes in the nerve tissue or in the skin somewhat similar to those occurring in well-known neuroses, or, finally, one should be able to produce the disease at will by producing certain injuries to certain portions of the nervous system. The upholders of this theory must show that the almost invariably circular shape of the patches, their manner of spreading at the periphery, as well as many other characters, are consistent with their view, that anatomical changes, if any, are such as are known to result from trophic disturbances of nutrition, and, finally, that if an alopecia, the result of certain experiments, be produced, all the spots must have the characters, in every respect, of ordinary alopecia areata.Any criticism I shall attempt upon the views of gentlemen who have written upon the subject will be based upon the foregoing conditions for proof of causation, using the clinical symptoms of the disease, the anatomical changes of the part, as they have hitherto been described, and the results of modes of treatment, as evidence for or against the two theories, as the case may be.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
