This condition sometimes coexists with lateral sclerosis. It fre-quently occurs, however, as an independent affection, especially duringchildhood. 366 LECTUKES ON NERVOUS DISEASES. The cells of the anterior horns are affected by an inflaniinatorvprocess in this disease; which, if snlliciently severe,leads to their atrophijor dei^truction. Morbid Anatomy.—When these cells become inflamed, their functionis at once aiifslid; hence sudden paralysis is developed, provided theinflammatory action be of the acnte type. If the gray matter be soaffected beyond the possibility of recovery, acnte pigmentary de^renera-tion of the cells so attacked apparently follows. The name ijoliomyelitis.
