[Bilateral cavernous sinus syndrome: Burkitt's lymphoma].

Bilateral cavernous sinus syndrome is usually due to a vascular disease, such as thrombophlebitis or arteriovenous malformation. In a 29-year old woman this syndrome revealed a malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the Burkitt type. In this case, the physiopathological mechanism was metastatic extension to the dura mater of a systemic lymphoma. The contribution of MRI to the diagnosis is emphasized.

[Benign, monomelic juvenile amyotrophy of a hand (Hirayama type): a new case report].

Benign, monomelic juvenile amyotrophy of the hand (Hirayama type): new data.--Within the space of a few months a 21-year-old man developed isolated amyotrophy and paresis of the right hand; thirteen years later the clinical picture was unchanged. Medullo-cervical MRI was normal. The EMG confirmed the involvement of the anterior horn. Unilateral chronic distal juvenile amyotrophy located in an upper limb (Hirayama type) was diagnosed on clinical findings. But the spread of electrical abnormalities to the lower limbs suggested a transitional form between this syndrome and other disorders of the anterior horn.

[Memory disorders in chickenpox encephalitis].

A 31-year old man with chicken-pox encephalitis presented with a cerebellar syndrome and disorders of memory. The latter consisted of severe anterograde amnesia with normal retrograde memory, without confabulation or anosognosia. This suggested that the hippocampus was involved, probably functionally, since the outcome was rapidly favourable and the MRI was normal.

[Protracted recurrent neuroleptic malignant syndrome].

The natural course of untreated neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) does not usually exceed 3 weeks. Its duration is reduced by dantrolene and/or bromocriptine. We report a patient in whom NMS developed after an injection of haloperidol decanoate and fluctuated during 3 months. This was due perhaps because the initial treatment with oral neuroleptic was pursued, or because the doses of dantrolene were insufficient.
