The effect of brain radiotherapy on the P3 component of ERP's.

Nine patients with lung cancer without brain metastasis were studied pre and post brain prophylactic radiotherapy (30 Gy) to verify the effect of radiation on the cognitive processes. The P3 component of event-related potentials was used in this study. The latencies pre and post-radiation were compared and a significant delay (p less than 0.01) was detected in patients after treatment. These results suggest that brain radiotherapy may produce a cognitive impairment, as reported by many Authors.

Segmental abdominal zoster paresis.

A case of uncommon feature of herpes zoster, a segmental abdominal paresis, is described. The importance of searching a motor defect in the thoracoabdominal segments and the utility of the electromyographic examination are stressed.

The pronator teres syndrome. Clinical and electrophysiological features in six surgically verified cases.

Six surgically verified cases of pronator teres syndrome are reported. The anatomy of the median nerve at the upper third of the forearm, the relationships between the nerve and the pronator teres muscle and the serial innervation of the muscles of the forearm supplied by the n. medians are described. Clinical and electrophysiological features are reported in detail and their contribution in diagnosing the lesion is discussed.

Spasmophilia: a clinical neurophysiopathological and biochemical study.

Spasmophilia is a problem much debated as regards its nosographic location. Its paroxysmal onset in a "neurotic" patient has confined spasmophilia within a psychiatric syndromic complex for many years. In the present study, strict clinical criteria used in selecting a population of spasmophilic patients included clinical, neurophysiological, biohumoral and psychological evaluations, providing further information about the real organic features of this syndrome. Moreover, on the basis of an organic pathogenetic hypothesis, all patients were administered medical therapy which resulted in clinical amelioration in a significant number of cases.

Early somatosensory evoked potentials in supratentorial brain tumors.

Early somatosensory evoked potentials were recorded in 33 patients with supratentorial brain tumors (9 benign tumors, 17 glioblastomas and 7 metastases). All the cases were studied with CT scan and all but 2 were surgically explored and histologically classified. Evoked potentials were statistically analyzed regarding the nature and site of the tumors. The temporal malignant tumors showed the most significant alterations in latencies, particularly for waves P25, N34 and P44.

Pseudoclaudication in lumbar disc protrusions. Contribution in understanding the etio-pathogenetic factors of the syndrome and surgical results in eight cases.

Eight cases of pseudoclaudication in patients with herniated lumbar discs are reported. Clinical features and variations in clinical patterns are briefly described. The hypotheses concerning the mechanisms causing pseudoclaudication, formulated by some authors, are discussed. It is suggested that this particular syndrome might be related to an arrangement of the spinal circulation with one lumbar or sacral accessory artery playing an important role in supplying the lower portion of the spinal cord.

Entrapment neuropathy of the dorsal cutaneous nerve of the hand.

One case of entrapment neuropathy of the dorsal cutaneous nerve of the hand is presented. The anatomy of the region suggests the nerve may be entrapped when it crosses the ulna behind the tendon of flexor carpi ulnaris. The electrophysiological findings and the good results following a local treatment with steroids are reported.

[Anterior interosseus nerve syndrome (Kiloh-Nevin) (author's transl)].

The Authors describe two cases of "Anterior interosseus nerve syndrome" with spontaneous recovery. The etiopathogenesis of the syndrome is discussed after reviewing the anatomy of the nerve and muscles, as well as diagnostic procedures. The main clinical features are: 1) no sensory troubles, 2) impairment of muscles innervated by interosseus nerve (flexor pollicis longus, external portion of flexor digitorum profundus, pronator quadratus). The electrophysiological confirmation of the diagnosis is based on EMG findings, while conduction velocity appears to be complementary but not conclusive. The therapeutic aspects are discussed.
