摘要:

Immunohistochemical examinations were carried out in a case of thromboangiitis obliterans. A 26-year-old man developed 4 brain infarctions which could be demonstrated by CAT scan. He suffered from a left-sided hemiparesis, major epileptic seizures, and an ischemic optic neuritis. Immunologic studies supported a diagnosis of cerebral thromboangiitis obliterans (CTAO). The serum anti-elastin titer as well as IgE were considerably increased and a biopsy of the temporal artery showed immunohistochemical signs of an acute inflammatory vessel disease. After the diagnosis of CTAO had been made, the patient was treated with azathiopnne and dexamethasone. In cases of young stroke patients, a temporal biopsy is important in confirming the diagnosis.

摘要:

In 300 subjects divided into three equal series of healthy adults, healthy newborn children and adults with neurological diseases, a clinical study of the palmomental reflex (PMR) is carried out, showing its methodology for the examination and appraisal of the reflex response. The PMR appears in 11% of the healthy adults, in 25% of the healthy newborn children and in 72% of the adults with neurological diseases. Habituation to the reflex response is significantly different in the three series, and this is the most important data to consider whether the PMR is physiological or pathological. No significant difference was objectified on evoking the reflex response by stimulation of the thenar region or the thumb.

摘要:

Neurological manifestations have been rarely described in sickle cell trait carriers. Almost all the patients up to now reported are black and young of age. An adult white man is reported, with AS hemoglobinopathy, affected by complicated migraine, who developed acute occlusion of two middle cerebral artery branches, with persistent neurological deficit. The possible significance of this association is discussed.

摘要:

An analysis is presented of 35 cases of chorea as a symptom of polycythaemia. This analysis reveals: (a) whereas polycythaemia occurs predominantly in males (3:2), poly-cythaemic chorea (PC) occurs predominantly in females (5:2), at a real ratio of ♀:♂ = 4:1, the prevalence being 1–2.5% of polycythaemic patients; (b) PC manifests predominantly after the age of 50 (8 cases before, 27 after 50 years), making polycythaemia the first disorder to be considered in cases of so-called ‘senile’ chorea; (c) PC is generalised, with predominant involvement of faciolingual and brachial muscles, and associated with muscular hypotonia; (d) PC may last from periods of weeks to years, usually responds to haloperidol, venesection or 32P-treatment, but may persist, or recur with treatment, or remit spontaneously, and (e) no relationship exists between the choreatic syndrome and (the rare finding of) a small infarct in the caudate nucleus. The cause of the choreatic syndrome in polycythaemia is presumably to be explained as a neostriatal hyperviscosity syndrome producing venous stasis, reduced brain blood flow and impaired tissular CVglucose metabolism. The state of dopaminergic hyperactivity is presumably enhanced by relatively increased neostriatal catecholestrogens. The hypothesis of polycythaemic excess of dopamine-laden platelets releasing excess of dopamine in the neostriatum needs to be confirmed by laboratory evidence of platel

摘要:

Cerebral computed tomography findings were described in 2 clinical cases of the interval form of carbon monoxide poisoning and comparison with postmortem CT finding of an autopsy case was made. There was low density in the bilateral frontal region, centrum semiovale and pallidal parts. In the course of the disease, the degree of low density in the white matter showed a tendency to diminish but it became more apparent in the pallidal parts. Myelinopathic white matter lesion in an autopsy material was recognized as a low density area in CT, which is identical with that seen in clinical cases.
