External ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia complicating acute infectious polyneuritis.

A 13-year-old girl suddenly experienced ataxia, bilateral external ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. She was previously healthy but several family members had had a flu-like illness. Cerebrospinal fluid punctures demonstrated a persistent lymphocytosis and protein elevation. Clinical improvement occurred in several months. These findings represent a variant of Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome (infectious polyneuritis), a systemic illness rather than a primary ophthalmologic entity.

Cervical angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia.

A three-and-a-half-year-old male with cervical angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is presented. Only 185 cases of this lesion have ever been described. The greater majority of these (80%) were located in the mediastinum. This case represents the youngest patient ever described as having such a lesion, especially located in the neck. The history, etiological theories, and pathology of this problem are discussed.
