Extract

The tell-tale facies of the subject of long-standing tabes is familiar to all clinical observers, and is the sum of several components. The pallor and thinness of the face are, in all probability, largely related to the impaired state of the patient's nutrition, and this in turn is often an expression of chronic infection of the urinary tract. The remaining components, namely, the ptosis, the pupillary anomalies and the equally constant changes in the appearance of the iris, are of neurogenic origin.
