title: [Manifestations of progressive paralysis. Not a theme of the past].
abstract: Investigations carried out on 293 cases of progressive paralysis showed that the widely held view of a "classical form" of progressive paralysis is not applicable. Thus megalomania was found in only 13% of the patients and a manic type state in less than half. Disturbances in affectivity, drive and intellectual functions in progressive paralysis are, in general, uncharacteristic and can appear in any psychotic syndrome. Moreover, neurological symptoms taken as characteristic for progressive paralysis such as the Argyll-Robertson phenomenon or the "mimic quivering" are more the exception than the rule.
