[Oculomotor surgery in Parinaud's syndrome].

The authors report the result of surgery on a case of Parinaud's syndrome with a torticollis chin down of the Alajouanine type (the flexion of the head was used to allow an elevation of the eyes; from this position, depression was possible). A Fadenoperation on both medial recti aimed to suppress the convergence spasms. A resection of both superior recti aimed to substitute for the flexion of the head. The results clearly showed that it is possible to improve the oculo-motricity in a gaze palsy by substituting surgery for the compensatory reflexes. A Fadenoperation which does not destroy the previous parallelism in the primary position is a good indication for any convergence spasm.

[Homicide with special reference to alcoholic intoxication and relation to time of day].

112 cases of homicide (around 4%) are presented from material of approximately 3000 psychiatric expert-opinions for criminal proceedings. The data of 107 committers were usable and could be evaluated statistically. 63% of the homicides were executed, 37% were attempted. 14% of the committers were considered to be psychopaths. The circumstances surrounding the crimes were further subdivided in imitation of Rasch and especially tested for daytime linkage. 53% of the males but only a very small percentage of the female committers were alcoholized. Neither alcoholization nor personality had influence upon the success of the crime. For most of the psychotic committers the attempt failed to succeed. There was a tendency that some of the assaults were performed during night-time. This was more pronounced in alcoholized than in sober committers. No linkage to the night hours could be found neither for criminal actions of psychotics or child murder, nor for murder or robbery. In conclusion we assume that certain forms of human aggression underlie a diurnal rhythm.
