Title | Unpublished paper, 'A second example of spontaneous mortification of the leg, accompanied with derangement of the valves of the heart' by Anthony Carlisle |
Date | [1807] |
Description | Carlisle describes the case of a 19-year-old woman who died after a spontaneous mortification of her leg, beginning at the foot and traveling upward. Carlisle compares this to a case related to the Royal Society by Anthony White, and notes that both women suffered from alcoholism and the mitral valves of the hearts of both women were found to be deformed with 'warty' growths.
