ON November 19th, 1881, 1 published in the'Medical Times and Gazette'three cases of epilepsy where ligature of the left vertebral artery was followed by a cessation of the epileptic fits. The first case has made a voyage to Calcutta and back. He is now engaged in a permanent situation in Liverpool, and up to the present time has had no relapse. The idiot boy is still in the epileptic ward and constantly under observation, and Williams is in hospital with a swollen limb; neither of these two have had any fits. I think we may take it for granted that the collateral circulation has been established in these eases during the ten months that have elapsed since the operation, and that the cure promises to be permanent In my paper published in the same journal on March 11th, 1882, 1 reported five cases in detail. Nicholas M., the slobbering, howling idiot, has had up to May 31st only one fit since last seen. He has had two fits altogether since the second operation, which was performed on December 28th. This child has not a comfortable home. He lives in a very neglected state, and in consequence I should not have been surprised had a complete relapse taken place. It is satisfactory to note that the improvement has persisted in spite of surrounding circumstances. My second case, Margaret O'D., was sent back to Dingle Mount, as she has no home to go to. Dr. Irvine informed me a short time ago, that about the end of March she got into a terrible temper with some of the other epileptics, and had some kind of fits. Since that time she has been free. The right vertebral was tied on December 31st. by guest on June 7, 2016 http://brain. oxfordjournals. org/
