A case of fatal cryptococcus meningitis with intraventricular granuloma.

Differential diagnostic difficulties in a case of probably spontaneous cryptococcus meningitis in a young girl are the reason for an extensive presentation of this case. The problems of CSF examination are discussed. In the course of the disease an intraventricular mycetoma had arisen, and caused the picture of a space-occupying process. Histological examination revealed an atypical reaction of the perifocal brain tissue, the possible causes of which are evaluated.

[The idiopathic orthostatic hypotension -- Shy-Drager syndrome (author's transl)].

The idiopathic orthostatic hypotension can be characterized as a presenile degenerative process with a liability to attack especially multiple systems. In the course of the disease clinically the autonomic functional failure stands in the beginning. It also determines the serious illness in the later stages, which is associated with an additional variable neurologic syndrome. By means of an own clinically and pathologically examined case it is given a survey of the present knowledge about the disease process. Especially it is declared on the localization of the lesions. Phaemacological tests point to a main disturbance of the preganglionic respectively central part of the sympathetic system. The analysis of the neuropathologically examined cases shows as the most regular finding a neuronal loss in the nucleus intermediolateralis, which certainly is hold responsible for a great part of the functional failure. But it is to assume, that lesions in other structures cooperate in the genesis of the syndrome, which morphologically are not yet recorded.

[Subclinical diabetes and polyneuropathy (author's transl)].

By investigation of the carbohydrate metabolism in 357 patients with polyneuropathy observed in hospital in recent years, and by statistical comparison with a control group in the literature, an attempt was made to find out whether subclinical diabetes can cause diabetic polyneuropathy to a greater extent. In spite of the more frequent occurrence in the total number of patients, a more significant etiological role for this type of metabolic disorder in polyneuropathy cannot be concluded from the results. Whether a more unspecific, general polyneuropathy-promoting influence is to be ascribed to it must remain open.
