SYMPTOMS OF VAGOTONIA AND THYMIC HYPERTROPHY

SYMPTOMS OF VAGOTONIA AND THYMIC HYPERTROPHY In the practice of pediatrics one frequently encounters unorthodox symptoms of a puzzling nature, such as attacks of cyanosis, choking and coughing spells, sudden pallor, and even sudden, unexplainable death. These symptoms, which are the subject of this paper, have been variously described as being of cardiac, respiratory, abdominal, thymic or cerebral origin. They are said to occur commonly in status lymphaticus, the nature of which condition is not well established. It is my purpose in this paper to list the symptoms in a series of forty such cases seen during a period of eight years and to point out that one of the theories as to the cause of status lymphaticus seems to be in accord with a possible explanation of all these observations. The cases presented in the accompanying table are listed in the order of their occurrence, and none which I considered pertinent are omitted.

Abstract

In the practice of pediatrics one frequently encounters unorthodox symptoms of a puzzling nature, such as attacks of cyanosis, choking and coughing spells, sudden pallor, and even sudden, unexplainable death. These symptoms, which are the subject of this paper, have been variously described as being of cardiac, respiratory, abdominal, thymic or cerebral origin. They are said to occur commonly in status lymphaticus, the nature of which condition is not well established. It is my purpose in this paper to list the symptoms in a series of forty such cases seen during a period of eight years and to point out that one of the theories as to the cause of status lymphaticus seems to be in accord with a possible explanation of all these observations. The cases presented in the accompanying table are listed in the order of their occurrence, and none which I considered pertinent are omitted. They should
