[Treatment of vertigo with betahistine and its clinical and electrophysiological evaluation].

Betahistine was administered during 4 weeks to 31 patients with vertigo, divided into 3 groups depending on changes in neurological examination. 1 group--13 patients without abnormalities, 2 group--11 with ischemia vertebrobasilaris, 3 group--7 with lesion of VIII nerves. Significant improvement was obtained in 20 patients (65%), most evident in group 1 (in 11). BAEP examination revealed abnormalities in 12 cases before the treatment and recovery in 4 (33.3%) after 4 weeks of treatment. They were: longer latency of the 1 component (39%), and III and V components mainly in the group with baso-vertebral ischemia. It confirms the supposition that disturbances of microcirculation are responsible for the mechanism of vertigo in these cases.

[Vertigo: its clinical and electrophysiological correlations].

In 41 cases of vertigo without abnormalities in neurological examinations BAEP examination, specialistic otological examination, X-ray of the cervical spine were done. In most cases Doppler USG examination of the carotid and vertebral arteries and EEG and CT of the head were obtained. The most frequent abnormality in these examinations were changes in cervical spine found in 30 cases (90%) and in BAEP--36.5%. BAEP changes were most frequently found in patients with known factors for dizziness--41.2%, followed by those with CT changes--33.3%, cervical spine changes--28.6% and changes in USG of the arteries supplying the brain from the neck.

[Nervous system changes in patients treated with penicillin during the period of symptomatic and early asymptomatic syphilis].

The results of cerebrospinal fluid examination of 451 patients treated for syphilis were analysed. In 34 patients abnormalities were found in the protein level, cell number and serological investigations. Thus, there is an absolute indication to cerebrospinal fluid examination in each case in which serological tests remain positive despite adequate specific therapy.
