Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 190))

Abstract

Observations on these rare and apparently heredofamilial disorders are scattered throughout the different branches of medical literature according to the particular interest of the individual author specializing in involvement of the eye or the skin or the nervous system.

(Editor’s note: The original version of Thannhauser’s article was divided into three sections; only Section I is reproduced here. We have not reproduced Thannhauser’s original photographs, but the figure legends are given in an appendix.)
