Dry Senile Gangrene. 589 



11.61. Dry Senile Gangrene of Foot— Early Stagre.— Foot 



and leg of the previous case dissected, so as to show the state 

 of the blood-vessels — in spirit. 



Both the anterior and posterior tibial arteries are 

 atheromatous. Their coats are thickened and infiltrated with 

 calcareous matter. Their lumen is diminished, especially that 

 of the posterior tibial and its peroneal branch, and a portion 

 of the posterior tibial artery is completely blocked with clot. 

 The veins accompanying the peroneal artery are completely 

 thrombosed, and patches of thrombosis can be seen in the 

 posterior tibial veins. G. C. 2851. 



Presented by Alexander Bruce, M.D., 1888. 



11. 62. Dry Senile Gangrrene of Leg- and Foot.— Left foot 



and part of the bones of the leg of an adult, dried, showing 

 the results of dry gangrene. 



The man died of gangrene of the feet. 



The foot is shrivelled and black, and the posterior tibial 

 vessels are by their irregularity evidently atheromatous and 

 studded with calcareous particles. The bones have been sawn 

 across. G. C. 354. 



Presented by Professor J. W. Turner. 



11. 63. Blocked Vessels, which caused Dry Senile Gangrene. 



— The femoral artery, with its deep branch, from the same 

 patient as the last was obtained from. The arteries have been 

 slit up — in spirit. 



The coats are thickened all over, and deposits of blood 

 clot here and there have obstructed the lumen. The cross 

 section of the profunda shows a complete blockage.
