Premenstrual affective syndrome and psychiatric disorder.

The relationship between premenstrual affective syndrome and psychiatric disorder was investigated, using 81 women presenting to a Neurology Clinic with functional headache. Premenstrual affective syndrome was significantly associated with a history of depressive syndrome in the population studied. Patients judged to have a non-affective psychiatric disorder reported no greater frequency of definite or probable premenstrual affective syndrome than patients considered psychiatrically normal. The premenstrual occurrence or exacerbation of affective symptoms has been noted. This symptom exacerbation maybe sufficient to require hospitalization. Data presented by Coppen indicate that women with affective disorder are more likely to report the premenstrual symptom of depression than women with other psychiatric disorders. These findings suggest that there may be some relationship between depressive disorder and premenstrual affective symptoms. As part of a larger study on the personality and psychiatric correlates of functional headache, data on the relationship between depressive syndrome and premenstrual affective symptoms were obtained.

Irrigation removal of retained gallstone following cholecystostomy.

A case is presented in which a patient, treated for acute cholecystitis by cholesystostomy, has a retained gallbladder stone removed by saline irrigation. A brief discussion is given on the indication for cholecystostomy and its use as definitive versus temporizing therapy. In performing cholecystostomy, a catheter of diameter equal to or greater than the diameter of any stone which may be left is recommended.

Solitary metastatic carcinoma of the spleen.

A care is reported in which an isolated metastatic lesion of the spleen was discovered one year after a modified radical mastectomy for carcinoma of the breast, and seven years following total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for carcinoma of the left ovary. Splenectomy was followed by significant clinical improvement of the patient who remains alive and well four years after operation. Regular physical and roentgen examinations have revealed no evidence of recurrent disease. The factors relating to the occurrence of solitary splenic metastasis are discussed briefly. This case is apparently the fifth reported in the literature.

Premenstrual affective syndrome and affective disorder.

Sixty-four per cent of 874 freshmen and sophomore women sent questionnaires about premenstrual and menstrual symptoms returned them. They differed from those not returning the questionnaires only in year of school. As predicted, women reporting premenstrual affective symptoms were more likely than those who did not report them to seek psychiatric care at the Student Health Service and to be diagnosed as affective disorder at the service.
