Abstract

Precise knowledge of the histological substrate of epidemic encephalitis, it appears to me, is indispensable not only for understanding the clinical presentation during the acute phase and the entire course of the disease, but also for understanding the severe after-effects. Heinrich Pette, 1942.

    In his influential nosography (1763) Boissier de Sauvages described a number of disorders including elements of encephalitis as Comata, “in which the principal symptom is the suspension of all the senses, not infrequently also of the mind (imaginatio)”; amongst the specific forms were the suggestively titled Lethargicus cephaliticus and Cephalitis epidemica, neither of which, however, were relevant to EL.

    German pathologists in the 1920s rarely employed the term ‘neuron’, preferring ‘Ganglienzelle’ for grey matter neurons (often referring specifically to the cell body), while in other countries both ‘ganglion cell’ and ‘nerve cell’ were employed. I have used ‘ganglion cell’ here to underscore that the original reference was to the cell body, not its projections.

    Glial nodules could also resemble the senile plaques of Alzheimer disease. In their pioneer description of plaques (in epilepsy; 1892) Blocq and Marinesco had, in fact, proposed that they were composed of microglia; Timmer (1925), Creutzfeldt and Metz (1926), and Globus (1928), amongst others, retained this view during the 1920s. See also the review by Critchley (1929–30), who clearly distinguished glial rosettes from senile plaques. More recently, glial nodule encephalitis has been most closely associated with CMV infection: Schmidbauer et al. 1989; Kielian 2004.

    Foix & Nicolesco 1925, p. 516. Foix and Nicolesco commented that PEP differed from PD in two features: the persistence, in some cases, of perivascular inflammation; and greater restriction of pathology to the nigra (p. 495). The PD pathology reported by the authors certainly involved more than the nigra (hardly any region of the CNS was unharmed by processes they denoted ‘precocious senility’), but their description of active inflammation in the nigra (microglial activation) is unusual for PD. As the authors did not report the source of the brain material, the possibility cannot be excluded that at least some was actually derived from PEP cases. Foix had previously compared the neuropathology of one EL (one case) with that of PD (seven cases) in Foix 1921.

    Spielmeyer 1930. Direct activation of macroglia had also been previously described. Karl Schaffer (1864–1939; Budapest) had in 1918 described different forms of glial proliferation in response to acute and chronic inflammation and nerve degeneration, as well as in response to the glia see themselves being attacked (Eigenerkrankung), as seen in progressive paralysis. These responses could combine proliferative and degenerative elements, depending upon the virulence of the pathogen, and the general state of the tissue involved: Schaffer 1918; see also Jakob 1927b; Globus 1928.

    Trétiakoff and Marie popularized the term ‘Lewy body’, but Spanish neurologist Lafora had employed it (‘cuerpos de Lewy’) in 1913 (the year after Lewy had summarily described them) to denote the hyaline bodies he found in PD in the oculomotor (CN III) nucleus, and to a lesser extent in those of CN VII and X.

    Brissaud 1895. Lotmar (1926, p. 48) noted that the patient had initially been seen by Charcot’s son, and the case published by Béchet in his 1892 thesis; a subsequent thesis (Maillard 1907) erroneously interpreted the Béchet and Marinesco–Blocq cases as separate, and Trétiakoff appears to have adopted this error. Pelnář (1913) compounded the problem by citing Brissaud’s paper as a third exemplar of the same condition. The moral of the story: one should not rely on second-hand accounts of crucial sources!

    Until the 1920s the terms ‘basal ganglia’ and ‘corpus striatum’ were often but not always construed as synonyms, except by those who included the thalamus in the basal ganglia (as in the French ‘corps opto-striés’). The ‘corpus striatum’ consisted of two structurally and ontologically divergent parts: the ‘striatum’ (Vogt & Vogt 1920) or ‘neostriatum’ (Kappers 1920), that included the caudate nucleus and putamen; and the ‘pallidum’ (Vogts) or ‘paleostriatum’ (Kappers); together the pallidum und putamen constituted the ‘lenticular nucleus’. The striatum was generally seen as part of the endbrain, but Spatz (1924a) regarded it as part of the diencephalon, a thesis later explored by his student Ernst Richter (1965).

The investigation of this initial case of ‘Hallervorden–Spatz disease’ laid the basis for a personal and scientific friendship that endured for four decades.

    Eight patients had suffered acute EL between 1920 and 1926, and one each in 1935 and 1942; two patients included no definite acute phase in their history.
