Description
Summary:As an omen, what the Germans have described as "Todesangts" or "Todesgefuehl", i.e., the almost absolute certainty of the proximity of the attack, which certain patients usually have: Allbutt emphasized this psychic state by describing it as a subjectivity whose main characteristic consisted precisely in the terrifying conviction of the imminence of death. This is what Trousseau assimilated to the character of aura, as it happens in the epileptic. After the attack, which has irremediably come to an end, the patient, who has seen death so closely, creates for himself an inner world in which the "angor animi" assumes its tragic hegemony.
