As the clinical pic-ture is so much at variance with either of these affections, it is,perhaps, preferable to treat it as a clinical entity. We should POLIOENCEPHALITIS ACUTA. 521 bear in mind, however, the fact that by extension of the inflam-matory process either downward or upward encephalitis andpoliomyelitis, respectively, may present a more or less identicalsymptom-complex.
