[Retrobulbar optic neuritis as an initial symptom of multiple sclerosis. Results of a prospective study].

40 patients with idiopathic optic neuritis (ON) between 1st January 1967 and 31st December 1977 have been checked again from oculistic and neurological point of view between 1st January and 31st March 1983. 10 of 40 examined patients (25%) are found suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) at the time of check up. Our research points out that idiopathic ON evolutive risk towards MS is greater in females, in people between 20 and 40 years old, in people with one or more relapses as well as in people with neurological microsymptoms at the time of ON.

[Induction of liver microsomal enzymes in epileptics under treatment with carbamazepine].

Serum gamma-GT activity was significantly (0.01 greater than P greater than 0.001) elevated in 18 out of 30 epileptics receiving carbamazepine (CBZ), i.e. in 60%. The incidence of abnormal gamma-GT levels in the control group (25 neurotic patients taking minor tranquilizers) was lower (12%). The possible relationships between the enzyme induction or chronic hepatic toxicity and the elevation of serum gamma-GT activity in epileptics taking CBZ are discussed.
