42/189 Two weeks after the injury paralysis began on the right side, and six weeks from the injury the patient died. This case is interesting from the novel mode of death, the perfect paralysis of the arm, paralysis agitans of the body (occurring as hemorrhage from the ear came on, and subsiding with it), and extensive caries of the petrous bone, without sensation of pain or any indicative symptoms. Haug speaks of two beads lying in the auditory canal for twenty-eight years without causing any harm. On the next day incompetent persons attempted to extract the kernel from the left side, but only caused pain and hemorrhage. |
