At the present day, the term apoplexy is employed by many writers to signify interstitial hemorrhage, (F.) Hemorrhagie interstitielle, or every effusion of blood, which occurs suddenly into the substance of an organ or tissue. Hence, we speak of cerebral apoplexy, pulmonary apoplexy, &c. &c. Formerly it was always- and still is by many- used in a restricted sense, to signify, in other words, the train of phenomena, which characterize cerebral apoplexy.
