Woman in last stage of cachexia strumipriva
Title
Woman in last stage of cachexia strumipriva
Description

Black and white photograph of a patient in the last stage of cachexia strumipriva, which eventually proved fatal. A goitrous thyroid gland had been entirely removed four years previously, the left half being extirpated on 7 January 1882, and the right half on 2 November 1882, by Professor Kocher of Berne. The condition of the patient on 7 August 1886, is described as being one of complete imbecility, with much swelling of the head and great emaciation of all the other parts of the body. Seen in the Insel Hospital at Berne.
