Late occurrence of additional ocular and intracranial pathologies in the linear naevus sebaceous (Feuerstein-Mims) syndrome.

The linear naevus sebaceous syndrome of Feuerstein-Mims belongs to the phacomatoses and classically is composed of a linear cutaneous lesion associated with mental retardation and epilepsy, sometimes also with ocular dystrophies. During an unusually long follow-up of 32 years of such a case, which is reported here, the late occurrence of additional ocular and intracranial pathology are demonstrated: conjunctival and bulbar tumours with progressive deterioration of visual acuity, bilateral intracranial arachnoidal cysts, dilatation and tortuosity of the middle cerebral artery. As a consequence of these observations the prognosis in cases with this syndrome has to be given with special caution.

Neurogenic stuttering.

According to reports in the literature and our own observations, which are reported in this paper, acquired stuttering may occur in conjunction with focal or diffuse damage to the central nervous system. When the lesion is focal, it may be in the right or in the left hemisphere. When the left hemisphere is injured, acquired stuttering may be concomitant with aphasia. Indeed, in some cases the stutter-like repetitions appear to be an integral part of the aphasic syndrome. In other cases, on the contrary, the two disorders seem to be relatively independent of one another. Occasionally, stuttering is the only observable disorder in the linguistic-cognitive sphere.

Inferior red nucleus syndrome (Benedikt's syndrome) due to a single intramesencephalic metastasis from a prostatic carcinoma. Case report.

The authors describe a case of inferior red nucleus syndrome due to a solitary intramesencephalic metastasis from a glandular epithelioma of the prostate. They emphasize the rarity of cerebral metastases of prostatic origin, particularly at the level of the brain stem, and the exceptional features of a red nucleus syndrome originating from a tumour.
