In the succeeding paper² experimental evidence was reported indicating that sudden release of high intracranial fluid tension in dogs causes cellular injury to the central nervous system accompanied by an increased fluid content of the nerve tissues. In the third article³ the literature in the field was reviewed and the possibility suggested that many of the untoward effects following the rapid drainage of cerebrospinal fluid could in the majority of cases be attributed to shock and edema of the central . . .
