| Vogel and Steiner assert that tabes mesenterica is a common result of enteritis folliculosa. |
| The geographical distribution of tabes mesenterica is as universal as that of scrofula and pulmonary phthisis. |
| The clinical presentation has shifted from general paresis and tabes dorsalis to meningovascular and atypical forms. |
| More rarely it appears as tabes mesenterica in infants, tubercular peritonitis, and tubercular disease of the internal organs. |
| The morbid appearances in tabes mesenterica are not usually confined to the changes in the glands. |
| In 1868, Charcot identified neuropathic joints with an unusual pattern of bone destruction in patients with tabes dorsalis. |
