摘要:

40 selected cases of multiple sclerosis (MS) with extremely high γ-globulin values in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (over 25 rel%, upper normal limit 7.5 rel%) were matched with the same number of MS patients with normal CSF findings. Surprisingly, no definite relationship could be shown between the amount of CSF γ-globulins and the various clinical criteria in MS, such as age, type of progression, duration of illness, remission, extent of plaques and gravity of the diseas

摘要:

This report includes five cases afflicted by chronic mercury poisoning which was observed in Iraq in 1972. All five cases showed the symptomatology of a severe cerebral damage combined with peripheral nerve lesion. The clinical picture reveals an apallic syndrome or a prestage ensuring in the full-blown picture. The combination of CNS lesions with polyneuropathy is typical of mercury poisoning with failure of all brain functions and the appearance of brain stem automatism, combined with severe muscular atrophy. When such conditions are established the remission seems to be impossible. The historical as well as the clinical and morphological facts of the Minamata disease is reviewed. The different stages of chronic mercury poisoning in Iraq are described.

摘要:

A case of opsoclonus and palatal myoclonus following blunt head injury is described. The syndrome appeared 1 month after the injury and lasted unchanged until death. Postmortem examination showed the presence of widespread lesions of the brain stem affecting the dentato-rubro-olivary system. The main clinical features of the syndrome and their anatomical correlates are discussed.

摘要:

After studying the vascularization and the angioarchitecture of the pes hippocampi by means of selective arteriograms, the authors suggest a number of modifications to the classical concepts of arteriolar penetration into this area. Their most striking finding was the typical stratification of the paraventricular area as compared with the gyrus dentatus which is more monomorphically vascularized. The stratum granulosum appeared not to represent a vascular barrier between these two zones. The authors emphasize the remarkable correlation between the fibrillar and cytological construction of the various layers on one hand and their angioarchitectural characteristics on the other.

摘要:

In a group of 60 patients of which 30 were affected by myasthenia, we used the regional curare test. The results were evaluated from a critical point of view and were then compared with the results obtained by the repetitive stimulation of the circumflex nerve, deriving from deltoid muscle. We considered too the specificity of the regional curare test for the evaluation of ocular myasthenia.

摘要:

Four cases of brucellosis in whom acute neurological conditions were the first manifestations of the disease are presented. These cases are acute meningitis, acute encephalitis with generalized and focal signs, acute transverse myelitis with paraplegia, and acute radiculitis with ‘sciatica’. The neurological manifestations, the laboratory findings, the treatment and certain features related to problems of diagnosis and differential diagnosis have been briefly discus

摘要:

Five new cases of myotubular (centronuclear) (neuro-)myopathy are presented. Myometric studies revealed type I fibre atrophy and mispositioned nuclei, at various stages between the myotubular structure and the normal subsarcolemmic position. Certain morphological changes, for instance target structures, suggest denervation involving the fibres in an early stage of myogenesis; differentiation seems to be more affected than growth. The genetic defect has an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance with penetrance and degree of expressivity varying from one case to another in the three families.
