Stereotactic retransplantation in Parkinson's disease: clinical, imaging and electrophysiological evidence of adrenal brain graft viability.

In March 1993, a patient with idiopathic Parkinson disease who had received an adrenal brain autograft 6 years before underwent bilateral stereotactic transplantation of a mesencephalic cell suspension into the striatum, in order to prevent further deterioration in his neurological condition. During the CT-guided surgical planning and the transplantation procedures, electrophysiological evidence of the adrenal graft viability was assessed. Based on these findings, we drew the preliminary conclusion that the chromaffin tissue implanted in April 1987 is still functional, which explains the clinical evolution of this patient during the postoperative long-term follow-up.

CT-oriented microrecording guided selective thalamotomy.

A further trial of CT-oriented microrecording guided stereotactic selective thalamotomy was conducted at the Centro Internacional de Restauración Neurológica, Havana City as treatment of resting tremor in 11 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), and in 3 other patients with intentional tremor associated with multisystemic atrophy and cerebral palsy. Three of the parkinsonian patients had undergone fetal mesencephalic tissue transplantation with significant improvement of the most debilitating symptoms of PD and stabilization of the motor state, but predominantly unilateral tremor had impaired them progressively despite increased levodopa doses. A Leksell frame was used with a novel surgical planning system and electrophysiological recordings to identify the optimal target point inside the ventralis intermedius. In all but 1 case, the tremor was totally arrested. No persistent complications were observed.

Prl, TSH, FSH, beta-hCG and oestriol responses to repetitive (triple) LRH/TRH administration in the third trimester of human pregnancy.

The effects of repetitive administration of 50 micrograms of LRH and 100 micrograms of TRH in a single bolus at 0, 90 and 180 min on Prl, TSH, FSH, beta-hCG and oestriol were tested in 11 healthy pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy. Basal hormonal levels were in agreement with previous reports. The Prl and TSH peaks after each injection of LRH/TRH were similar for each hormone. No significant changes in serum FSH, beta-hCG and oestriol were detected after repetitive administration of LRH/TRH. Thus, the responsiveness of lactotroph and thyrotroph cells to pulsatile stimulation with LRH/TRH is not altered during the last trimester of pregnancy, and FSH, beta-hCG and oestriol levels remain constant during the period of sampling.

'Luxury perfusion syndrome' in a patient with reversible ischemic neurological deficits.

A 28-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with difficulty in speech and motor weakness of the right arm of sudden onset. Twelve years previously a grade I oligodendroglioma had been removed. The CT scan showed a low density area without enhancement in the left frontal region that appeared to communicate with the left lateral ventricle. An increased flow through the left middle cerebral-artery and a focal avascular area in the left hemisphere was noted during a dynamic study by angioscintigraphy. A radionuclide cerebral control study showed reduced flow through the left middle cerebral artery. The patient was discharged 25 days after admission with the diagnosis of (1) reversible ischemic neurological deficits associated a hyperperfusion and (2) porencephaly.

[Spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistula: angiogammagraphic findings and computer analysis (author's transl)].

The case of a 74-year-old woman with a carotid-cavernous fistula is reported. She was admitted to hospital with oliguria and generalized edema. After improvement of the edematous condition she suddenly presented intense, pulsatile, frontal cephalea. It was more intense on the right side and was accompanied by nausea and vomiting and swelling of the right eye with reddening, sharp pains, difficulty of movement, and loss of vision. Cerebral angiogammagraphy was practiced in anterior-posterior and right lateral view. A righ carotid-cavernous fistula was discovered with drainage through the superior ophthalmic vein and the deep venous system. The angiogammagraphic findings can be considered characteristic; it is important to obtain activity/time curves from various areas of interest in order to evaluate the degree of shunting and the pathway of drainage from the fistula. There was a good coorelation with the arteriographic findings. Eight cases of carotid-cavernous fistulas diagnosed with radionuclids have been published previously, though the activity/time curves were not determined by computer for any of them.
