Case report of a 9 years old boy with Kinsbourne's syndrome. This condition was characterized by the subacute onset of polymyoclonia, cerebellar ataxia and opsoclonus that set later, following an herpes zoster infection. Steroid therapy resulted in rapid dramatic improvement of neurological symptoms.
The authors report a case of genuine brucellar meningitis etiology. Emphasis was given on endemic and epidemiologic factors in our country as well as on contradictory clinical and complementary immunological tests in lower age groups. The CT scan ruled out possibilities of tissue damage. The case had good clinical evolution. The treatment was based on dimethyl-chlortetracycline associated with trimetropin-sulfametoxazol.
The Déjérine-Roussy syndrome was not revised for several years by neurologists, although it has been known since 1906. The authors describe a typical case involving thalamic ischemic and calcarine other side cortex lesions emphasizing its study by computed axial tomography and by using new drugs on a vasodilatation, inhibition of platelet aggregation and tiapride base.
