Recurrent cranial polyneuropathy.

General considerations on recurrent cranial polyneuropathy are made. In addition, a study carried out in 42 patients with recurrent cranial polyneuropathy (RCP) permitted the assessment of some parameters closely related to age, sex and evolution in order to elaborate an etiopathologic hypothesis. Female cases prevailed (31 females, 11 males); the interval between two episodes varied from 1 month to 39 years. 117 episodes were found (from 2 to 8 episodes in one patient). Immune, vascular and entrapment aspects are discussed.

Outcome in ischaemic stroke: carotid versus vertebro-basilar territory.

Clinical study and laboratory investigations were performed in 166 carotid ischaemic stroke (CIS) patients and 64 vertebro-basilar ischaemic stroke (VBIS) patients. The study revealed some features of VBIS: significant male predominance (p < 0.001), better outcome (for modified Rankin Scale (MRS)) (p < 0.01), significant number of different triggering factors (p < 0.001). Nonsignificant differences in mortality were found in both groups (p > 0.05). Myocardial infarction was an important associated cause of death.

Adult

Prognostic criteria in haemorrhagic stroke with good outcome potential.

168 patients with haemorrhagic stroke (H.S.) were clinically and paraclinically studied. In 74 (44%) patients, the outcome was favourable whereas 94 (56%) died. The prognostic criteria were assessed according to: location and size of haematoma, consciousness vegetative disorders, medical history, comorbidity, pupillary and oculomotor disturbances.
