[Specifics of personality and mental status in children and adolescence with chronic tension-type headache].

Neurological and psychiatric examination of 334 children, aged 7-15 years, 87 (23%) of them suffering from chronic tension-type headache (CTTH) is presented. All the patients had mental (mostly depressive and anxiety) disorders and 95.3% of them--psychosomatic ones. Clinical heterogeneity of CTTH was revealed: in the cases of daily continuous headache there were depressive disorders, in daily intermittent headache--depressive and anxiety-phobic disorders and in frequent headache pattern neurasthenia was predominantly detected. Personality features of CTTH patients were as follows: high anxiety, aggressiveness, asthenia, low "Ego" power, high frustration, sensitivity, hypochondriac, depressive and hysterical tendencies, affective rigidity. Patients realized mostly non-adaptive coping styles both for high and low pain intensiveness. Combination of psychopharmacology, psychotherapy and biofeedback for the CTTH treatment is recommended.

[Peripheral autonomic nervous system function in patients with hypothalamic insufficiency].

Peripheral vegetative nervous system state was estimated in 61 patients with constitutional acquired hypothalamic insufficiency by using non-invasive methods. Control group consisted of 10 healthy individuals. Cardiovascular tests application led to the evaluation of subclinical parasympathetic vegetative insufficiency. In was more prominent in patients with early neuroendocrine disorders debut as well as in those with more protracted disease durations. The authors suggest that these findings testify the constitutional acquired character of disturbances. Besides it was also found the conductivity velocity fall in sudomotor preganglionic fibers in arms and legs and the prevalence of such disorders in patients with expressed dysraphic status. The last observation may testify the defect in laying of these peripheral vegetative fibers. The study carried out permits to suppose that subclinical peripheral insufficiency occur to be one of the factors evoking rise either of permanent (tachycardia, arterial pressure elevation, hyperhidrosis) or of paroxysmal vegetative disturbances (panic attacks, migraine) in patients with hypothalamic insufficiency.

[The Tel Hashomer camptodactyly syndrome].

Tel Hashomer camptodactyly syndrome in 2 siblings was described for the first time in Russian literature. Together with camptodactyly flexion folds between phalanges were absent in patients and characteristic face alterations were presented such as asymmetry, hypertelorism, antimongolian ophthalmic eyes cut, high ridge of the nose. There were also observed diffuse skeletal musculature hypoplasia together with humeroradial muscle aplasia as well as two-sides talipes. Inheritance type of syndrome in this family was estimated as autosomal-recessive.

State of the peripheral nervous system in patients with hypothalamic insufficiency.

An investigation was carried out by non-invasive techniques of the state of the peripheral nervous system in patients with a constitutional-acquired form of hypothalamic insufficiency. Ten healthy individuals were included in the control group. The presence of subclinical parasympathetic vegetative insufficiency was identified by cardiovascular tests. It was more marked in patients with an early onset of the neuroendocrine disturbances and longer course of the disease. In the opinion of the authors, this suggests the constitutional-acquired character of the vegetative disturbances. In addition, a slowing of the speed of conduction through the sudomotor preganglionic sympathetic fibers in the upper and lower extremities and the predominance of these disturbances in the group of patients with pronounced dysraphic status were identified. The latter suggests a defect of the laying down of these peripheral vegetative fibers. This investigation makes it possible to hypothesize that subclinical peripheral insufficiency is one of the factors governing the occurrence of both permanent (tachycardia, elevations of AP, hyperhidrosis) and paroxysmal vegetative disturbances (panic attacks, migraine) in hypothalamic insufficiency.
