catalepsy

It is suspected to be a case of catalepsy, hospital sources told Spanish news channel Telecinco.

The book contains an admirably-described case of catalepsy, which is equally well explained.

When the Thyroid was discontinued the catalepsy grew worse, the exophthalmic goitre better; when resumed the catalepsy better, the exophthalmic goitre worse.

I had never heard of anything like it except the trance which leads to canonization, or the catalepsy that baffles science.

When persistent it is tonic spasm or cramp, catalepsy, tetanus; when the relaxations alternate with the contractions, it is clonic spasm, as in epilepsy, convulsive hysteria, chorea, &c.—n.
