Overview
During the Napeoleonic Wars, General Paresis of the Insane(GPI) first appears to be reported in Paris. In 1836, Marshall Hall an English physician found a patient with loss of postural control in darkness caused by severely compromised proprioception, but He did not develop more information about it. In 1840, Moritz Heinrich Romberg, a german physician was the first who discovered tabes dorsalis which is the most prominent manifestation of neurosyphilis. He described excessive drinking and increase sexual activity may be the causes of tabes dorsalis. He named the disease as progressive locomotor ataxia. He was unable to find the relation between syphilis and tabes doesalis. In 1858, Guillaume Duchenne a French neurologist for the first time described the association between syphilis and neurosyphilis .In 1875, Jean-Alfred Fournier, a French dermatologist conclusively described the syphilis as the main cause of tabes dorsalis. In 1888, Sir William R. Gowers a British neurologist gave accurate details of the modern Romberg's test.
Historical Perspective
The main points in historical Perspective of neurosyphilis are:[1][2][3][4]
- During the Napeoleonic Wars, General Paresis of the Insane(GPI) first appears to be reported in Paris.
- In 1836, Marshall Hall, an English physician, found a patient with loss of postural control in darkness caused by severely compromised proprioception. but He did not develop more information about it.
- In 1840, Moritz Heinrich Romberg, a german physician was the first who discovered tabes dorsalis which is the most prominent manifestation of neurosyphilis. He described that excessive drinking and sexual activity may be the causes of tabes dorsalis and he named it progressive locomotor ataxia but he was unable to find the relation between syphilis and tabes doesalis.
- In 1858, Guillaume Duchenne a French neurologist for the first time described the association between syphilis and neurosyphilis .
- In 1875, Jean-Alfred Fournier a French dermatologist, firmly described the syphilis as the main cause of tabes dorsalis.
- In 1888, Sir William R. Gowers a British neurologist gave accurate details of the modern Romberg's test.
