[Autonomic neuropathy with cauda equina syndrome in a patient with diabetes mellitus].

In significant number of diabetic patients are observed numerous complications during the disease onset and course. One of the most frequent is diabetic polyneuropathy that can, during its course, assume such types and imitate various diseases that can by the intensity of revealance be prominent and couse significant differential-diagnostic difficulties, especially if some forms of polyneuropathy are more rarely considered. The patient with poorly regulated diabetes, in whom the couse of disturbances was unknown for the longer period of time was presented in this study. Leading clinical phenomenology indicated the signs of impairment of cauda equina roots and extensive diagnostic procedures had to be performed. However, just after the favorable response to the glycemia regulation and withdrawal of neurologic phenomenology it was concluded that the patient suffered from diabetic polyneuropathy with clear signs of autonomic nervous system involvement, as well as autonomic neuropathy at the some time, respectively.

[Multiple sclerosis and epilepsy].

Epileptic seizures in the patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were reported more than 100 years ago. The question of mutual physiopathologic association between MS and epilepsy is even nowadays controversial. The question is if epileptic seizures are the symptoms of MS or are just coincidential, i.e., are those two separate neurological diseases? The development of contemporary immunologic, electrophysiologic and neuroradiological diagnostic procedures enabled the diagnosis of MS to be much more certain, and in that way the differentiation of some symptoms and signs, as well as epileptic seizures in those patients became more reliable. In this report are presented three patients in whom the diagnosis of MS was confirmed by clinical, laboratory, immunological, electrophysiological and neuroradiological diagnostic analyses and procedures, and in whom were simultaneously clinically and/or electrophysiologically (EEG) registered epileptic seizures with specific alterations in EEG that were obviously associated with the development of primary disease--MS.

[Association of risk factors for cerebral atherosclerosis in patients with acute ischemic brain disease].

Atherosclerosis is the primary disease in the majority of patients with ischemic brain disease (IBD). Etiopathogenesis of atherosclerosis has not been more precisely defined, but risk factors significant for its generation and development, so as for IBD development, have been identified. They were designated as risk factors for brain atherosclerosis (RFBA). The aim of this study was to establish the frequency and significance of RFBA association in the patients with acute IBD in relation to IBD severity. The investigation included 60 patients with AIBD. RFBA were: arterial hypertension, dyslipoproteinemia, diabetes and smoking. For all the patients included in the study detailed history was noted, daily glycemia profile was done, blood pressure was measured 3 times a day and parameters of lipid status with counting of LDL/HDL indices and Apo A1/Apo B were determined. IBD was confirmed by computerized tomography of brain. The degree of IBD severity was determined in all the patients by Grotta's scale. After the statistical processing, the results of the research showed that in the patients with IBD the most frequent were arterial hypertension, then smoking, dyslipoproteinemia and diabetes. In significant number of patients existed association of several factors, which was in significant positive correlation with the degree of IBD severity. It was concluded that risk factors for atherosclerosis were simultaneously risk factors for IBD. IBD is the most severe, final stage in evolution of brain atherosclerosis.

[Convulsion-conversion epilepsy--a problem in differential diagnosis].

Epilepsy is chronic, multietiologic disease of the cerebrum, with different clinical features and with frequent occurrence of emotional and psychic disorders. In this report, we presented the case of female patient, 16 years old, examined in our Clinic twice. The diagnosis of epilepsy was established on the basis of the following examinations (EEG, Holter EEG, MR of the head) and Carbamazepine was included in the therapy. Afterwards, in the patient, instead of grand mal seizures, occurred atypical nonconvulsive prolonged seizures, without postictal phenomena, and after the repeated observation, psychological confrontation and according to the bizarreness of certain seizures the case of conversional-convulsive epilepsy was confirmed, and for that reason we decided to publish this report.
