Complete motor and sensory paralysis below ensiform cartilage, with well-marked hyperaesthetic zone around trunk. All reflexes absent. Retention of urine. Incontinence of faeces. Bed-sores in sacral region developed during the first two days, and seventeen days later well-developed serpiginous trophic sores developed on the outer side of each leg and continued to increase slowly until death. The paralysis remained of the absolutely flaccid variety. Great emaciation occurred, accompanied by hectic fever, the temperature ranging from normal to 102.5 deg.. During the third week double pleurisy developed. At the _post-mortem_ no bone injury could be detected. The cord and dura-mater were adherent over an area corresponding to the fifth to the eighth dorsal vertebrae, and opposite the seventh the cord was soft and of the consistence of butter. A small intra-dural haemorrhage was still evident below the main lesion, not extensive enough to give rise to serious compression. General adhesions in each pleura. Cystitis. [Illustration: FIG. 79.--Appearance of Spinal Cord enclosed in membranes in case 103 after removal from the canal. When the membranes were opened a white custard-like substance took the place of the cord. Slight evidence of extra-dural haemorrhage existed] (104) _Dorsal region; section of cord; retained bullet._--Wound of _entry_ (Mauser), in seventh right intercostal space, 4-1/2 inches from the dorsal spinous processes, oval in outline; bullet retained. Complete motor and sensory paralysis, with absence of reflexes below umbilicus. Retention of urine, incontinence of faeces. Large sacral bed-sore developed rapidly. Right haemothorax. The patient emaciated rapidly, and for the last fourteen days the temperature ranged to 104 deg., the bed-sore steadily increasing in size. Death occurred on the forty-second day. At the _post-mortem_ a Mauser bullet was found embedded in the centrum of the twelfth dorsal vertebra. The bullet was slightly curved; its anterior extremity had passed across the spinal canal, and wounding the dura posteriorly rested against the left lamina. The plating of the mantle of the bullet was stripped from half the area of the tip. The dura was not adherent, and the cord was softened for half an inch above the point of section; above this it was normal, the vessels coursing normally to the softened spot. Below the point of section the cord was blanched, but offered no other macroscopic evidence of disease. No evidence of either intra- or extra-dural haemorrhage was detectible.
