[Intracranial calcifications in the differential diagnosis of epileptic disease].

We report the case of a patient with a history of goiter operation 26 years before who present recurrent convulsive episodes diagnosed of epilepsy. Our study shows that this clinical setting is a Fahr's Syndrome (intracranial calcifications and chronic Hypoparathyroidism). We compare our case with others of the medical literature and analyze the neurological findings in regard to the type of intracranial calcifications and the severity and duration of hypocalcemia.

[Thyroid function study in patients with diabetes mellitus].

We study 48 compensated diabetic patients, 41.6% of whom were male, 68.75% had diabetic neuropathy and/or vascular complications (macro-microangiopathy). In 60.4% of the patients the study began at ten years of disease evolution. We selected 14 healthy adults as a control group, 50% being male. Plasma levels of T3, T4 and TSH were measured by RIA and the antimicrosomal antibody (AMT) and antithyroglobulin antibody (ATG), detected by passive hemagglutination. A significant decrease in T3 level (p less than 0.05) was found in controlled diabetic patients, compared to T3 levels of the control group; there was a significant reduction in T3 level (p less than 0.05) in diabetic patients with vascular disease and in female diabetics (p less than 0.05), compared to the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in the other groups, including other parameters measured. We concluded that there is a decrease of T3 in all diabetic patients, this being more noticeable in diabetic females and diabetic patients with vascular disease.
