Moyamoya disease and intracerebral hematoma. Clinical pathological report.

This report concerns a hypertensive woman who suffered a stroke at the age of 51 and recovered from left hemiparesis after 3 to 4 months. During the subsequent 24 years she had four seizures which involved the left arm and face and became generalized, ending with left hemiparesis, from which she recovered after 4 to 5 days. Carotid angiography was performed in 1967, 1973 and 1974 and the characteristic picture of moyamoya disease was demonstrated. She died at the age of 77 with extensive vascular disease. The literature concerning 215 cases of moyamoya disease, in which there were 14 intracerebral hematomas, is reviewed and discussed.

[Radiocompetitive dosage of 25 hydroxyvitamin D and 24, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D in geriatrics. Study of seasonal variations].

Dosages of 25 (OH) D and of 24, 25 (OH) 2 D in the plasma were done in March and October in 26 women more than 70 years old, hospitalized in a semi-chronic disease hospital of the Paris area. Eleven young adults, studied in June, served as control. There was a significant decrease of 25 (OH) D and 24,25 (OH) 2 D in older individuals (pL 0,001). In march, the levels of 25 (OH) D and 24,25 (OH) 2 D were respectively 2,7 +/- 1,6 mg/ml and 0,88 +/- 0,53 mg/ml. In October the level of 25 (OH) D (5,8 +/- 2,6 mg/ml) were significantly higher (p L 0,01) whereas the level of 24,25 (OH) 2 D did not vary (0,84 +/- 0,58 mg/ml). These results are in agreement with those obtained in England. The underline the relative deficit vitamin D in older individuals. The constant decrease of 24, 25 (OH) 2 D remained unexplained.
