Fluphenazine decanoate and tardive dyskinesia: a possible association.

The authors examined the charts of 22 outpatients who had received intramuscular fluphenazine decanoate and oral fluphenazine hydrochloride to assess the incidence of tardive dyskinesia. The severity of tardive dyskinesia was assessed with the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). Both the total dose and average daily dose of fluphenazine decanoate correlated significantly with high AIMS scores. There were also significant correlations of AIMS scores with total dose of antiparkinsonian medication and total dose of other neuroleptics. Total dose of antiparkinsonian medication correlated with total dose of fluphenazine decanoate. The authors discuss the clinical and physiological implications of these correlations.

[Benign esophageal tumors].

The authors present seven cases of benign oesophageal tumours treated in hospital in the years 1972-1990. Among the treated patients were six men and one woman, aged from 30 to 70 years. In four patients the tumour was situated in the middle part of the thoracic segment, and in three cases in the lower part of the supradiaphragmatic segment of the oesophagus. The diagnosis od benign oesophageal tumour was made on the basis of X-ray examination, oesophagoscopy, and histopathological examination. Five patients were treated surgically. In two patients the access to the tumour was from the right pleural cavity, and in three other cases--from the abdominal cavity. The result of histopathological examination of the removed tumours was as follows: in two patients--benign polyps, in one patient--mature teratoma, in one female patient--myxofibroma, and in one case--fibromyoma. In all patients operated on complete cure was achieved.
