The Most Common Organic Nerve Diseases in Our Clinic Between 1944 and 1954

Abstract

This retrospective statistical study examines 4296 patients admitted to the Neurology Department of Ankara University Medical Faculty between 1944 and 1954. Among these, 3336 cases were diagnosed with organic neurological diseases. The most frequently observed condition was vascular hemiplegia syndrome (30.8%), followed by peripheral neuropathies, brain tumors, tuberculous spondylitis, neurosyphilis, extrapyramidal syndromes, and multiple sclerosis. The study analyzes patient demographics, etiological distribution, age-related patterns, and laterality of hemiplegia. The results are compared with data from other countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. The findings indicate a higher prevalence of cerebrovascular accidents and tuberculous neurological complications in Turkey, whereas diseases like multiple sclerosis remain relatively rare. This paper highlights regional differences in neurological disease distribution and emphasizes the impact of social, geographic, and infectious factors on neurological morbidity in mid-20th century Turkey.
