A case of Refsum's disease in a 62-year-old man, with an ophthalmologic symptomatology dominated by a tight bilateral miosis, is reported. The miosis mechanism in this disease is discussed. The clinical evolution has been stabilized by a diet poor in phytanic acid.
Panmedullary ependymoma is an unusual disease last reported by Fuentes in 1986. The present case is the first to have been studied by magnetic resonance, using gadolinium. The findings indicated a panmedullary lesion rather than a tumour. Histopathological investigation confirmed the hypothesis.
Total lateral paralysis in a case of "One and half" Fisher's syndrome accompanied by paralytic pontine exotropia is described. Oculographic investigation indicates involvement of the nucleus of the VIth cranial nerve. Paralytic pontine exotropia, may therefore be encountered where the VIth nucleus is involved.
A paravertebral ganglioneuroma was discovered in a 25 year-old woman presenting a transverse spinal syndrome at the same level. Exeresis necessitated sacrifice of the ninth left intercostal artery, but paraplegia regressed completely under corticotherapy. Additional exploration and subsequent clinical evolution revealed multiple sclerosis, of which the pavaplegia had been a manifestation. The authors discuss ganglioneuroma in the adult, a rare tumour, and the possibility of a link with multiple sclerosis. The association seems fortuitous despite the fact that the tumour and the transverse myelitis occurred at the same level.
