[EEG changes dependent on the position of the head in patients with vertebrobasilar circulatory failure].

In a material of 39 cases EEG investigations were carried out in patients with vertebrobasilar failure at rest and in different positions of the head. It was observed that EEG curves in cases of vertebrobasilar failure can be normal or may show different changes. Head movements caused changes in EEG curves in one-fourth of these cases but no correlation was demonstrated between the intensity of these changes and the intensity of clinical changes.

[Acute cerebral ischemic disease in patients under the age of 50].

The authors analysed clinically 108 patients (61 males and 47 females), aged below 50 years treated at the department of neurology, because of acute cerebral ischaemia. Attention is called to risk factors such as arterial hypertension, heart disease, atherosclerosis, obesity and diabetes which may be the cause of earlier development of ischaemic changes in the central nervous system. In the analysed group in 18 cases cerebral thrombosis, in 23 cases embolism, in 31 cerebral circulatory failure were diagnosed. In 36 cases the cause could not have been established.

[Benign infantile epilepsy].

The authors describe clinical and electroencephalographic analysis of 23 cases of banign infantile epilepsy. The characteristic features of seizures, the clinical course, and the EEG findings with presence of spikes and/or spikes and slow waves in leads from the motor and midtemporal areas are discussed. Frequent influence of factors releasing the first and subsequent seizures and a history of risk factors during pregnancy, and perinatal period, and early acquired predisposition were demonstrated. Follow-up showed that seizures disappeared at the age of puberty. All observations suggest the possibility of separation of benign infantile epilepsy as a particular form of this disease.

[Analysis of cases of funicular myelosis].

In a material of 14 cases of funicular myelosis the authors demonstrated frequent presence of peripheral signs, psychic changes and rare occurrence of such infrequent syndromes as transverse myelitis, cerebellar syndrome, optic nerve atrophy. Diagnostic difficulties are discussed in cases of pernicious anaemia without blood changes, without gastric achylia, or in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency, malabsorption syndromes and other more infrequent pathological conditions. The importance of such investigations as Schilling's test in atypical cases and the necessity of regular, long-term substitutive treatment with B12 are stressed.

[Analysis of the possibilities of prevention of status epilepticus as well as its complications in children].

Sixty-five cases of status epilepticus in 51 children were analysed. In 8 cases permanent damage to the CNS resulted and 4 children died. The analysis indicates that the factors influencing the frequency of status epilepticus and CNS damage include: young age of children, infections and their type, withdrawal of antiepileptic medication and the time of beginning treatment of status epilepticus as well as the type of drugs used. In prevention of repeated seizures the authors suggest early administration of anticonvulsants with dehydrating drugs, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory agents. The authors suggest also increasing of the dosage of anticonvulsants in cases of enen common infections beginning in epileptic children.

[A case of progressive bulbar paralysis in a child (Fazio-Londe disease)].

The reported case was diagnosed in a girl aged 14, in whom the first signs developed at the age of 6, with progressive involvement of the cranial nerves IX, X, XI and XII, and V with VII. After ruling out other possible causes the diagnosis of the Fazio-Londe disease was established. Electromyographic examination confirming the diagnosis demonstrated also evidence of changes of neurogenic type in the muscles of upper extremities despite absence of demonstrable clinical abnormalities, which, as suggest the authors, may support the hypothesis of the similarity of the disease to other forms of spinal muscular atrophy, such as Werdnig-Hoffman and Kugelberg-Welander diseases.

[A case of epidermal nevus (Jadassohn's phacomatosis) with changes in the nervous system].

A 22-year old patient with Jadassohn's naevus phacomatosis affecting the right side of the head, face and brain is reported. Besides naevus linearis on the forehead, lipomata of the right palpebra, skin and palate, 2 odontomata, hypodermal and submucosal hyperplasia of the right half of the oral cavity, a small aneurysm of the internal carotid artery in the cavernous sinus and linear calcification in the cortex of the medial surface of the occipital lobe like those in Sturge-Weber disease were found. Clinically, she was found to be mentally retarded (moderately) and having epilepsy. Epileptic attacks occurred up to the age of 13 years, while changes in EEG are still present.

[A case of crossed aphasia in a right-handed person].

A 17-year-old boy, right-handed, and without a family history of left-handedness is described. Occlusion of the right internal carotid artery caused in him left-sided hemiparesis with aphasia. The cross-aphasia of right-handed individuals is discussed in the light of literature reports.

[Evaluation of immunologic reaction of the body in patients with acute cerebrovascular diseases by means of the rosette test].

In 63 patients with brain ischaemia and 29 healthy subjects the rosette test was done and clinical observations were conducted parallelly. The percent of peripheral blood lymphocytes forming rosettes spontaneously was 53.7% in the group of patients, while in the control group it was 63.4%. The difference was statistically significant.

[Rheoencephalographic evaluation of carotid artery compression test in patients with ischemic cerebral stroke].

The rheoencephalographic method was applied for evaluating the common carotid artery compression test in 87 cases, including 49 patients with ischaemic strokes and 38 healthy subjects. In all 174 tests were done. No complications were observed. The investigation confirmed the usefulness of the test for the diagnosis of carotid artery occlusion. The test should be used routinely in rheoencephalographic investigations in patients with ischaemic cerebral strokes.
