Syphilis affection of the cerebral appendage is observed quite often. Virchow first described the gum of the cerebral appendage in 1858. Further observations showed that the defeat of the cerebral epididymis with syphilis is a fairly common disease and, according to some authors, syphilis of the cerebral epididymis occurs in 42%, according to others in 57%. How often syphilitic lesions of the epididymis are observed, comparatively, can be seen from the statistical data of Buschke and Jost'a, who collected from the literature 246 cases of syphilis of the cerebral epididymis, of which 162 cases had acquired syphilis.
