The Common Room / Question about latin medical term on death record
« on: Thursday 19 November 09 20:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I have a question I hope someone can answer.  (Maybe someone with knowledge of old medical terminology)

On my Great Great Grandfather's 1849 death record his cause of death is listed as "paralysis spinalis".  What does this mean exactly?  I assumed it was a fancy way of saying he broke his back...  But it sounds kind of ominous. 

Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks

The man in the photo was supposedly the university tutor of my ancestor.  Can anyone help with a date?  Also, does anyone out there know anything about academic dress at Irish schools?  Is it possible to know what university he was attending/working for by his gown, etc.?
