A case of focal seizures with right hemiparesis in a 6-year-old Indian girl is presented. CT scan showed four ring-enhancing lesions in the left cortex. She was treated with phenytoin and a course of praziquantel. The hemiparesis recovered in 3 weeks and a repeat CT scan after 2 months was normal. Arbitrary use of anti-tuberculous therapy in Indian children with focal lesions in the brain is not recommended as the lesions are often due to cysticercosis.

An account of the main causes of low blood magnesium and the predominant rôle of this ion in the organism is followed by the description of a case of encephalopathy due to magnesium deficiency in a chronic alcoholic with cirrhosis of the liver. This neuropsychological condition, together with its concomitant low blood calcium and potassium, rapidly regressed when magnesium sulphate was administered. Stress is laid on the desirability of giving attention to and preventing the onset of this electrolytic alteration in clinical practive.
