[Development of multiple sclerosis with ocular onset as compared with other onset forms].

This work is to verify if multiple sclerosis started with a retrobulbar optic neuritis has a more favourable course, compared with the cases started with any other neurological symptomatology according to a large part of AA. We considered 47 cases of M.S. started with R.O.N. hospitalized in our Clinic from 1940 to 1975, controlled with two groups of 47 patients of the Clinic with M.S. without any ocular symptomatology. Any satisfactory information result from this inquiry to prognosticate a more favourable prognosis for the cases started with R.O.N.

[Course of multiple sclerosis with and without corticosteroid therapy].

The course of multiple sclerosis in 186 patients had been studied at the Nervous and Mental Diseases Department - University of Padua - Italy. Among the 186 patients who have been followed, 93 have never been subjected to a corticosteroid oral therapy; the 93 other patients had undertaken an oral therapy with methyl-prednisolone. The seriousness of the course and the kind of evolution have been examined valuating the clinical observation. As regards the seriousness of the disease course, statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients have not been found. More considerable differences have been found for the kind of evolution.

[Achondroplasia is also a neurologic disease].

The achondroplasics' ossification defect produce some changes of the spinal column of such a degree to cause a medullary compression. The AA. refer two cases of neurological complication hospitalized since 1960 in the Clinica delle Mlattie Nervose e Mentali - University of Padua. The clinical evolution of the two patients is considered and compared with the cases known in the Literature; the pathogenetic mechanisms of this disease and the therapeutical perspective are discussed too.
