[Subacute idiopathic polymyositis with rare antiribosomal antibodies in the serum - clinical course during immunosuppressive long-term therapy].

In a 66-year-old woman a polymyositis with subacute course was observed. The proof of very rare antiribosomal antibodies with a high titre on the serum was remarkable. Only after a cytostatic immunosuppressive therapy a clinical improvement developed, parallel to which there was a tendency to normalisation of immunological and enzyme-pathological parameters. The decrease of the titres of the autoantibodies is evaluated as indicators of the effectivity of the medicamentous immunosuppression and using the special literature is discussed in its importance also concerning the possibilites of the control of the clinical course.

Parkinson in the senile age also to the postoperative eminent disappearance of the parkinsonians symptomatic.

[Diagnostic problems associated with chronic subdural hematoma in the elderly (case study)].

The authors give an account of a case of chronic subdural hematoma caused by the indirect application of force to the skull (after the patient had fallen, landing violently on the backside). They discuss the specific problems which seemingly trivial skull injuries in elderly people pose in terms of diagnosis and medical expert opinions. Relying on the available literature, the authors go on to deal with the pathogenesis and differential diagnosis of chronic subdural hematoma due to injury and of pachymeningosis haemorrhagica interna.
