Magnetic resonance imaging in motor neuron disease.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain was evaluated in 20 patients with motor neuron disease (MND) and in a control group of 11 healthy people. Bilateral increased signal areas of various sizes in the centrum semiovale, corona radiata, internal capsule, pedunculi of midbrain, pons, medulla and even in the frontal lobe, topographically related with the corticospinal tract, were found in 8 out of 20 patients. Three out of 4 patients with progressive bulbar paralysis and 5 out of 11 cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis had abnormal MRI. Such MRI abnormalities have neither been found in patients with progressive muscular atrophy nor in controls, suggesting that they may be the hallmark of pyramidal tract degeneration in motor neuron disease.

Syringomyelia secondary to compression of the cervical spinal cord by an extramedullary lymphoma.
A case of syringomyelia secondary to an extramedullary cervical spinal cord compression by a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is described. After radiotherapy, the syrinx was no longer seen. The pathogenesis of this type of syrinx is discussed, and the potential benefit of radiotherapy in these cases is suggested.

Uveomeningoencephalitis in a human immunodeficiency virus type 2-seropositive patient.
A 35-year-old woman developed longstanding uveitis and later a uveomeningoencephalitis of unknown origin and died of toxoplasmal brain abscesses. The presence of immunological impairment, human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) seropositivity, and multinucleated cells in the brain led us to suspect neurotropic properties for HIV-2 similar to those of HIV-1.

Haematological changes in retinal vasculitis.
Two selected cases of retinal vasculitis, apparently of unknown aetiology, are reported; one case without any systemic or laboratory manifestation and the second case with a clinical picture similar to VKH syndrome and immunodepression. Both cases showed abnormal haematological parameters related to blood viscosity in the early and acute phases which could be manipulated by therapy. Reduction or near normalisation of these haemorrheological parameters coincided with clinical and angiographic improvement. The second case with severe immunodepression was found to be retrovirus HIV-2 positive.
