APOPLEXY

n. A?p'o-pletx-f2, Gr., awomAngia (from éroraogewv, to strike down). Lat., apoplex i a. Fr., apoplexie, Ger., Apolexie, Schlagflu , Hirnschlag, Hirnschlagfiu . It., a pop le i a. p apoplejia. Properly, a stroke of paralysis. In typical cases. the individual suddenly loses conscioysne and all control over the voluntary muscles. If he does not die at once, he remains for a considerable length of time profoundly unconscious, breathing stertorously, and, besides the total lo of voluntary control over the muscles, it is commonly found that certain muscles, especially those of one side of the body, are Co Ne paralyzed, so that they fail to balance the tonic action of their opponents (see Hemi- PLEGIA). This condition may gradually end in more or le compiste recovery. The term is also made to cover cases in which the ‘oregoing description applies only in part; thus, the lo of consciousne may be incomplete and transitory, there may be no paralysis, and the phenomena may be gradual in their appearance. As the cause of the symptoms in the typical cases is commonly an escape of blood into the substance of the brain, in consequence of the rupture of a blood-ve el, the use of the term has n extended, in a pathological as opposed to its clinical sense, so as to include various forms of heemorrhage into and between the ti ues.
