[Brainstem tuberculomas: two cases].
We report two cases of brainstem tuberculomas with favorable outcome after medical treatment alone. Tuberculomas should be suspected in all cases presenting space-occupying lesions of the brainstem.

[Neurologic complications of varicella in adults].
Three patients aged 32, 30 and 36 years, had chicken pox then developed acute cerebellar ataxia (for two) and acute polyradiculoneuritis. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein content was increased and varicella virus serology was positive in both blood and CSF. All three patients improved with aciclovir.

[Bilateral optic neuritis and ponto-mesencephalic involvement shown by MRI in Miller-Fisher syndrome].
We report a case of Miller-Fisher syndrome with ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia. The main characteristics of this case were bilateral optic neuropathy and ponto-mesencephalic abnormalities on MRI. This case confirms the possible central neurologic localisation in this rare syndrome.

[Association of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with scleroderma. Study of 2 cases].
We report a clinical association of diffuse scleroderma and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in two patients. Scleroderma was diagnosed on skin, digestive, osteoarticular, pulmonary lesions and inflammatory syndrome. ALS was suspected on the association of diffuse amyotrophy, fasciculations, pyramidal tract involvement and electrophysiological data. Chronic medulla ischemia and or immune abnormalities are proposed as potential pathological mechanisms for ALS but fortuitous association can not be excluded.
