Abstract

Neuropathy, by some neurologists, is said to be an acquired rather than a congenital disease. This opinion may be explained by the sphere of action of these specialists, which only very seldom permits them to study these cases in children.

We could show them the child suffering from pylorospasm and the ruminating child, the infant whose fits of restlessness and shrieking cannot be explained by bodily ailments, the baby who, after violent opposition to any variation in its diet, almost collapses from exhaustion and its fellow patient who obstinately refuses to take its
