Classic migraine and visual field defects.

A series of 116 patients with classic migraine were studied to record visual field defects. Thirty-four (29.3%) subjects had defects of the field of vision, 11 of them bilaterally, which made a total of 45 (19.4%) eyes. Downward isopter depression from above and contraction of the field of vision were the most common damages. A homonymous hemianopic defect was found in seven patients. The area of depressed vision helps to some extent in anatomical localization of the damage. Its etiology has not been fully clarified. The authors recommend more extensive clinical examinations of the visual field, i.e. follow-up of each patient with classic migraine by periodical testing of the field of vision.

Nasopharyngeal cancer and blood selenium level.

A case-control study of nasopharyngeal carcinoma was performed in Zagreb from 1989 until 1993. Blood selenium concentrations were determined in 34 patients with nasopharyngeal cancer and 47 normal subjects by means of the atomic absorption spectrophotometric method. The sera of nasopharyngeal cancer patients showed no significant differences in selenium values from the sera of normal individuals, but there were significant differences between patients with enlarged cancer (T4 stage) and normal individuals. The results suggest that lower blood selenium levels in this group of nasopharyngeal cancer patients may be a consequence of their disease, rather than the cause of the cancer.
