Aphasia after left hemispheric intracerebral hemorrhage.

The function of subcortical nuclear structures in language is uncertain, and language disorders after injury to these structures are described incompletely. We report 15 patients with left putaminal or thalamic hemorrhage, describe the range of language and behavioral disorders produced, and review the potential mechanisms of these disorders. Clinicoanatomic correlations revealed no definite differences between aphasia after hemorrhage in putamen or in thalamus.

Ketamine anesthesia in dermolytic bullous dermatosis (epidermolysis bullosa).

An unusual hereditary disease entity of the integument, dermolytic bullous dermatosis (epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica), recessive type, is presented. The disease is characterized by the formation of bullae, vesicles, and erosions upon the application of the least trauma. Healing results in scarring and incapacitating deformities which require extensive reconstructive surgery. A technic utilizing ketamine-diazepam "dissociative anesthesia" for several surgical procedures for this condition is described. The technic enabled the patient to undergo 3 complex operations over a 2-year period with minimum complications.
