Edgar Adrian (1889-1977) and Shell Shock Electrotherapy: A Forgotten History?

abstract：:Two cases are presented with a long clinical history of multiple sclerosis (MS) before the diagnosis of an intracranial brain tumor. In the subsequent brain autopsy, however, both cases presented a diffusely growing anaplastic astrocytoma, only, and no changes similar to MS were seen. Diffuse tumor growth was noted in...
