Extract

Head injury, whether single as in an accident, or recurrent as in boxing, may on rare occasions be followed by a form of insidious dementia (Bowman and Blau, 1940). The post-mortem study of such long-standing cases however is seldom undertaken, and although various pathological processes may have been postulated during life they have rarely been looked for after death. The findings in the following case are therefore reported in some detail.
