Beobachtungen über Lähmungszustände der untem Extremitäten und deren Behandlung.

Stuttgart: F. H. Köhler, 1840.

First description of acute anterior poliomyelitis, which Heine separated from other forms of paralysis; he described the deformities arising from the disease. He also called attention to congenital spastic paraplegia, which, following Little’s classic description (No. 4691.1), was termed “Little’s disease”.
