Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: text: First of all, in order to distinguish this from two other lesions which have been termed polioencephalitis inferior (progressive bulbar paralysis) and polioencephalitis superior (nuclear ophthalmoplegia), let us speak of this as polioencephalitis corticalis. What proof have we that there is such a condition? Anatomical proof, none; we are willing to concede, however, that some of the many cases of atrophy and sclerosis may have been due to this polioencephalitis, but it is unfortunate for Strümpell's theory that all of the autopsies made soon after the onset of the disease have shown other conditions, and not a polioencephalitis.
