Of 167 patients referred to a unit treating severe behaviour disorders after brain injury, 54 showed clinical features closely resembling those of gross hysteria as described by Charcot. Close correlation was found with very diffuse insults (hypoxia and hypoglycaemia), but not with severity of injury or with family or personal history of hysterical or other psychiatric disorder. The findings may have implications for the understanding of the nature of hysteria.
在被转诊至一个治疗脑损伤后严重行为障碍科室的167名患者中,有54名表现出与夏科所描述的严重癔症极为相似的临床特征。研究发现这些特征与非常弥漫性的损伤(缺氧和低血糖)密切相关,但与损伤的严重程度、家族或个人的癔症或其他精神疾病史无关。这些发现可能对理解癔症的本质有一定启示。
