[Acutely developing glioma and negative CT scan. Apropos of 3 cases].

Three adults presented convulsive fits for the first time in their lives, and examination with a CT scan showed no anomalies. Repetition of the CT scans a few weeks later revealed the presence of evolving lesions. Based on these 3 cases and 11 previously published cases, the problem of "normal" CT scans and rapidly developing glioblastomas is discussed.

[Brain scanning with 201 thallium. Comparative study with D.T.P.A. 99mTc brain radioangiogram].

Data of brain scans with 201Th and 99mTc - D.T.P.A. are studied in 43 patients. Some of the results sustained earlier data from Ancri (1978): lack of interest through vascular diseases, good sensitivity for the focalized brain lesions (24/25). But new features are underlined: occurrence of false - positive, intermediary patterns laying between normal scan and focal pathologic distributions but without etiologic correspondence. The quantified contrast is usually better with 99mTc - D.T.P.A. than with 201Th; these data challenge Ancri's ones. Actual indications of Thallium brain scan are discussed.

[Primary neuromeningeal manifestation, isolated for a long period, of acute lymphoblastic leukemia].

The course of acute leukaemias, particularly of the lymphoblastic type, is very frequently complicated by the development of neuromeningeal localisations of the disease. They may, more rarely, be presenting initial lesions, their origin being confirmed clinically and/or biologically, but it is exceptional that they remain a strictly isolated expression of the affection. A case is reported of a 16-year-old adolescent with leukaemic meningitis, in whom haematological tests (blood counts, bone marrow smear, iliac medullary biopsy, lymph node biopsy) gave negative results over a period of at least two months. Based on the findings in this case, the significance of early neuromeningeal localisations of acute leukaemias is discussed.
