[Lithium treatment in Cluster headache (author's transl)].

the results of a Lithium Carbonate therapy for 14 Cluster headache patients are reported. For all of them a rapid and striking reduction of both the frequency and severity of the attacks was remarked on day doses that varied from patient to patient but never were over 900 mg. Plasmatic as well as RBC lithium levels have been constantly found below the levels generally believed as necessary for the treatment of manic depressive psychosis. The interruption of the treatment after one week without any attacks has never been followed by a new onset of them. Side effects have been checked as rare and scanty, so that all the patients have been allowed to bring the therapy to the conclusion.

Adult metachromatic leucodystrophy: clinicopathological report of two familial cases with slow course.

Two cases of adult metachromatic leucodystrophy in one family are reported. The main clinical features in both were predominantly psychiatric with alcoholism and an extremely long duration of the illness. Neuropathological examination revealed a similar distribution of the lesions in both, and scanty metachromatic accumulation in the CNS and not at all elsewhere. The great variability of the lengths of the courses is stressed. The duration in no way seems to be linked to the age of onset, except in the typical infantile form. The authors argue that different lengths of history correlate with distinct neuropathological findings, and may possibly be related to qualitative differences in the involved enzyme disturbance. Therefore, the authors suggest that the classification based on the age of onset be enlarged with a further one distinguishing between 'rapid' and 'slow' course types.

Mild thrombocytosis secondary to iron-deficiency anemia and stroke.

A 45-year-old woman with mild thrombocytosis secondary to iron-deficiency anemia suffered from hemispheric infarction in absence of vascular, cardiac or coagulation pathologies. The modest raise of the platelets count seemed as the sole possible cause for the cerebral infarction. We wish to emphasize the inconstant benignity of mild non essential thrombocytosis at levels less than 1 million/cu.mm.

Palatal "myoclonus" and inferior olive hypertrophy with one-sided cerebellar lesion. Clinico-pathological report of one patient.

A case of palatal myoclonus and inferior olive hypertrophy is reported. Lesions located other than in the medulla were cerebellar infarction, lymphomatous infiltrates and, supratentorially, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. It is suggested that double innervation of the olives from either side dentate nucleus may be why in the case reported here and in several cases in the literature, one-sided supra-olivary lesions can produce bilateral hypertrophy. As with palatal "myoclonus" and olivary hypertrophy, it is proposed that if the characteristic rhythmical movements occur, lesions besides those along the dentate-olivary pathway and the olivary hypertrophy itself have to be present.
