[Hodgkin's granuloma of the cerebral hemisphere. Apropos of one case].
With reference to a case of Hodgkin's granuloma of the frontal lobe, a review of the literature has enabled 8 similar cases of intra-cerebral localisation of this disease to be reclassified. Their mechanism is discussed on the basis of neuropathological data and in particular their development in situ. Excision of the lesion appears to be the treatment of choice.
[Myoclonic encephalopathy due to bismuth following colectomy. Apropos of a case].
Bismuth encephalopathy mainly affects chronic constipation sufferers. The case described, which is practically identical, should be considered (in the absence of constipation) within the context of resection for cancer. The responsibility of bismuth, suggested in five similar cases by Burns and colleagues, is here confirmed by the blood, C.S.F. and urine levels. The mechanism of encephalopathy and the possibility of a failure to eliminate bismuth affecting these levels are discussed.
