Summary
[edit]DescriptionCretinoid C.jpg |
English: Case C. — N. L. Boy; of middle-grade, aged 5 years. Height 3
feet 3 inches ; weight 34j4 pounds. Clay-colored complexion ; pend- ulous abdomen ; head brachycephalic ; hair dark red, thick and fine. Face square, bridge of nose flattened, nostrils dilated. Tongue is large ; teeth badly decayed. Ears large and prominent. Eyes brown, set far apart. Circulation poor, extremities cold ; red spots on cheeks. Speech very defective and vocabulary small. Sluggish in habit. Gentle, amiable, affectionate, obstinate ; has a violent tem- per when roused. Powers of attention, imitation, and memory fair. Unable to wash, dress, or care for himself in any way. First-born, dry birth, premature, labor difficult. Fed artifi- cially during first month, then nourished by negro nurse for two weeks, and afterwards by mother. A sickly infant with defective heart; had a slight attack of meningitis when 6 days old, asso- ciated with spasms. During the first and latter months of preg- nancy the mother suffered from fatigue of journey, anxieties from proximity of yellow fever, and within a few weeks of delivery sus- tained a severe fright. Father 25, mother 23, at time of N.'s birth. Family history good. Environment not of the best — being a malari- ous district in the far south — an entire change was deemed advisable. Upon coming to me, he was placed at once on thyroid, 2j^ grains of the dried extract being administered daily in divided doses. The effect was immediate increase of temperature and loss of appetite. A gradual reduction, first to one half and then to one fourth of the quantity still producing very unpleasant effects, I was forced finally to abandon it. Extreme fragility of constitution gave no hope of resisting the rigors of a northern climate, and in fact, demanded areturn home. |
