Gombo Neuritis

Gombo neuritis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the peripheral nerves. It was first described by the French neurologist Philippe Gombaud at the end of the 19th century.

The disease is characterized by damage to nerve fibers and their surrounding membranes. Occurs as a result of an infectious or autoimmune process. It manifests itself as pain, numbness, weakness and muscle atrophy in the area of ​​innervation of the affected nerves.

Diagnosis is based on the clinical picture, electromyography data and nerve biopsy. Treatment includes the use of glucocorticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and physical therapy. The prognosis depends on the form and stage of the disease. With timely treatment, complete recovery is possible.

Gombe Neurite (1845-1938), French neurologist, one of the founders of psychiatric scientific medicine and head of the Institute of Mental Diseases in Paris. Gombion studied in Paris with Charcot and Ammon. After completing his medical practice, he worked as an assistant at the Bello Clinic in Paris, taking the position of neurologist-emissary at this clinic in 1889. In 1911, Gombay founded the famous Maison Ammon hospital in Paris, where he devoted the rest of his life. In the field of psychiatry, he helped develop psychic science using neurological methods. Gombault recognized that mental science is based both on mental abnormalities or disorders of the physical and functional state of a person, and on pathologies of the structure of the brain. Neuritis was one of the first neurologists to draw attention to the fact that many mental illnesses have a physical cause. He was also one of the first to conduct research on intrauterine fetal mutations, even before human birth.
