A Case of Partial Congenital Hemi-hypertrophy.
نویسنده
چکیده
HEMI-HYPERTROPHY, or abnormal enlargement of one side of the body, is of interest because of its varied forms and its frequent association with other congenital abnormalities, including mental deficiency. Wagner reported a case in 1839, and in the ensuing century about a hundred cases of partial or complete hemi-hypertrophy have been recorded. A brief description of the following case of hemihypertrophy, associated with Von Recklinghausen's disease, will serve as a basis for discussion.
