Disulfiram neuropathy.

A case of sensorimotor polyneuropathy during disulfiram administration is described. This complication partially resolved after the medication was stopped. Pathological observations revealed axonal changes and neurofilament accumulation was found in a few myelinated and unmyelinated axons.

Electrophysiological prognosis in facial paralysis.

Electrical prognosis was evaluated in 79 patients with facial paralysis, of spontaneous (n = 43) or post-traumatic origin (n = 36). Three electrophysiological tests were employed jointly: detection, stimulation and stimulodetection. The patients were reviewed at least 1 year later, in order to appreciate the agreement between the electrical prognosis and the clinical outcome (satisfactory or not). Those patients with a favourable prognosis on electrical testing had in the majority of cases a satisfactory outcome. The accuracy of the prognosis was also better in cases of early examination (within 15 days) and partial paralysis.

Neurophysiological study of 47, XYY and 47, XXY psychopaths: contingent negative variation, evoked potentials and motor nerve conduction.

Neurophysiological investigations-including sensory-evoked responses, contingent negative variation (CNV), and nerve conduction velocities-were done in 11 male polygonosomic patients and in comparison with a control group. Some significant data are reported pointing out differences which may be related to a hypovigil type (47, XYY) and a hypervigil type (47, XXY). The importance of the CNV and conduction velocity as an index of a constitutional minimal brain dysfunction is discussed.
