From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Francesco M. Galassi and Dr. Hutan Ashrafian suggest that Caesar's behavioral manifestations; headaches, vertigo, falls (possibly caused by muscle weakness do to nerve damage), sensory deficit, giddiness and insensibility; and syncopal episodes were due to cerebrovascular episodes, and not epilepsy. Piny the Elder reports in his Natural History that Caesar's father and forefather died without apparent cause while putting on their shoes. These events can be more readily associated with cardiovascular complications from a stroke episode or a lethal heart attack. Caesar possibly had a genetic predisposition for cardiovascular disease.Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
