====== 1864 ====== [[1863]]-[[1865]] The term causalgia (Greek: kausis – [[burning]], algos – [[pain]]) was introduced by [[Silas Weir Mitchell]] in [[1864]]. It was used to describe a rare [[syndrome]] that followed a minority of partial peripheral nerve injuries in the American civil war. Triad: burning pain, [[autonomic dysfunction]] and trophic changes. ---- [[Lasègue's sign]] was named after [[Charles Lasègue]] (1816-1883). In [[1864]] Lasègue described the signs of developing low back pain while straightening the knee when the leg has already been lifted. In [[1880]] Serbian doctor Laza Lazarević described the straight leg raise test as it is used today, so the sign is often named Lazarević's sign in Serbia and some other countries. ---- (Hughlings) Jackson’s syndrome: CN X, XI & XII palsy First described in [[1864]] with unilateral paralysis of the soft palate, larynx, sternocleidomastoid, trapezius, and tongue.
