1890 Brain 13 299 Inflammation confined to a special tissue, as the neuroglia, has then its particular characteristics of gliomatous proliferation... Schültze [sic] would naturally call this special kind of inflammation gliose or gliomatose.]
1892 W. Osler Princ. & Pract. Med. 849 The condition is now regarded as a gliosis, a development of embryonal neurogliar tissue in which hæmorrhage or degeneration takes place with the formation of cavities.
1899 T. C. Allbutt et al. Syst. Med. VII. 172 He [sc. Weigert] wholly discards the hypothesis of syringomyelia to which the name spinal gliosis has been applied.
1934 H. W. C. Vines Green's Man. Pathol. (ed. 15) xxxvi. 809 If any destructive lesion of the brain tissue should occur, the astrocytes proliferate, and repair of the lesion occurs by gliosis comparable to the reparative fibrosis in other tissues.
1964 S. Duke-Elder Parsons' Dis. Eye (ed. 14) xxxiv. 545 In syringomyelia cavities form around which secondary gliosis develops in the cervical and upper dorsal cord.
1966 G. P. Wright & W. S. Symmers Systemic Pathol. II. xxxiv. 1143/1 Gliosis is not always pathological. It may be found to some extent in normal brains in such places as the olivary nuclei..and the central canal of the spinal cord.
