Vasomotor changes in extremities paralyzed by cerebral lesions have long been recognized. There has, however, been considerable question as to the correct interpretation of the manifestations which have been observed. A review of the extensive literature dealing with the recorded cases will be presented later. In the case reported here, the vasomotor changes, observed from the onset of the paralysis, were far more marked and definite than those usually reported. Because of the unequivocal character of these changes their relation to the known physiologic activity of the central and peripheral portions of the sympathetic nervous system seems clear. The case is presented in order to facilitate the correlation of the physiology of the human nervous system with recent developments in the study of the cortical representation of this system in infra-human primates (Fulton, Kennard and Watts) and to stimulate additional observations of vasomotor changes early in cases of paralysis of . . .
