Flatau explains them by circulatory disorders and the possible toxic effects of the tumor, Marie-Foix admits the possibility of ascending myelitis. Barre, Thoma, Elsberg attach importance to the influence on vegetative elements at the level of tumor localization, other authors attach importance to the stagnation of cerebrospinal fluid over the area of compression.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив[Аствацатуров М.
