A 43-year-old woman underwent subtotal removal of a cervical spinal leiomyoma in 1980 and 1981. When her (cyclic) symptoms recurred and tumor growth was demonstrated, she was treated with a synthetic anti-gonadotropic hormone (Danazol; Danatrol) until menopause, when medication could be discontinued without further recurrence of her symptoms or increase in size of the residual tumor.
A patient is described with myoclonic dystonia, a disorder characterized by a combination of dystonia and myoclonic contractions. A very good response to epidural cervical cord electrical stimulation was obtained. The findings in this case indicate that epidural cervical cord electrical stimulation could be a useful therapeutic approach in cases of myoclonic dystonia.
A 48-year-old female patient was operated on for a right frontal dermoid cyst. CT scans before and 2 years after the operation demonstrated identical multiple low-density lesions, in the subarachnoid space as well as in the brain tissue. Multiplicity of dermoid cysts is postulated.
