[Topiramate in comorbid disorders: epilepsy and migraine].

INTRODUCTION: With relative frequency epilepsy and migraine are associated in a same patient. Some times it is difficult to distinguish an attack of others. Reason why it would be of utility to have a treatment effective in both pathologies. It is tried to study in patients with this comorbidity, how of effective it is a drug indicated in the two pathologies, as it is topiramate. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An observational, longitudinal and prospective study is made, where 15 patients are recruited with this association, and which they were treated with topiramate. They are revaluated at three and six months of treatment. RESULTS: Significant differences are obtained (p < 0.05) in all the studied variables (severity and duration of the migraine attacks and frequency of the migraine and epileptic attacks), with a medium dose of 100 mg/day of topiramate, at the end of the study. Not serious adverse effects were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Topiramate in monotherapy seems to be a suitable treatment in patients who undergo epileptic and migrainous attacks jointly.

[Our experience with Kufs disease: familial form and sporadic case].

Our experience on Kufs' disease includes a familiar, neurovisceral form and a sporadic case. The familiar form shows an autosomal, dominant inheritance, and belongs to Berkovic's type B. A variability on the age of onset was observed, being more protracted in women. The sporadic case belongs to Berkovic's type A. Her EEG showed a periodic, short-interval, activity for a long period of illness. NMR findings were nonspecific for the diagnosis. All cases showed granular osmiophilic deposits, but not storage characterized by fingerprint profiles. Visceral storage in many cases on Kufs' disease suggests the utility of visceral biopsy evaluation for the diagnosis during life.

[Psychiatric disorders and cognitive deterioration in Friedreich ataxia].

The present study was designed with the aim of examining the presence of psychiatric diagnosis and intellectual impairment in a sample of patients with Friedreich's ataxia. A consecutive sample of 21 patients presenting with Friedreich's Ataxia were evaluated by means of a neuropsychiatric interview. Only one patient was diagnosed as mentally retarded. Out of the 15 patients of the sample who were evaluated with be WAIS, all of them fell within a normal intellectual range. The idea that Friedreich's Ataxia produces cognitive impairment and serious psychiatric symptoms came from the earliest descriptions of the disease at the beginning of this century, which probably included many patients in their samples who had other diseases.
