Abstract
The purpose of this note is to gather and analyze legal cases which have involved diseases characterized by the courts or medical witnesses as being of obscure etiology or in which the role of trauma is uncertain. Basic to this discussion is an understanding of the concepts of causation, precipitation and aggravation as they are used both legally and medically.
