[Familial form of centronuclear myopathy in the adult].
Two adult cases of centronuclear myopathy are described in a family from French Guyana. One of them, aged 23, has a slight weakness despite hypertrophic muscles. A typical picture of centronuclear myopathy was seen on muscle biopsy with atrophy of type I fibers and hypertrophy of II A fibers. His uncle, aged 53, had a progressive weakness of the lower limbs for the last 25 years, with also a pattern of centronuclear myopathy, but with more dystrophic features and atrophy of both type I and II A fibers. The mode of inheritance is dominant. These two cases are compared with the previously published reports. The pathogenesis of centronuclear myopathy is discussed.
[Neurologic complications of pagetic basilar impressions and their surgical treatment].
Paget's disease of the skull is the main cause of basilar artery syndromes in the adult. They may cause various neurological symptoms, including signs of ischemia of the spinal cord or medulla, or involvement of the cranial nerves and brain stem and, also, distant symptoms due to hydrocephalus, with various mental disorders including transient, recurrent, coma. The authors discuss 30 cases found in the world literature and 6 unreported personal cases, study the clinical symptoms of these cases of basilar artery compression due to Paget's disease, and the methods of neuro-radiological investigation, and emphasize the interest, in severe forms, of early surgical decompression before the stage of severe neurological complications. Regular supervision of patients with Pagets disease is thus essential to detect at an early stage, decompensation of basilar artery insufficiency in Paget's disease. In late forms, calcitonin may be indicated.
