[Brain atrophy: radiological-neurological correlations].

Computerized tomography of the head was done in 5021 patients aged 21 to 81 years from various neurological, neurosurgical and neurotraumatological indications. Brain atrophy as an only finding (primary) was noted in 11.5%- and in 5.4% of cases it was associated with other changes. The neurological-radiological correlations were established in 200 cases of primary strophy. History data included: headaches in 54.5%, dizziness in 15.0%, epilepsy in 24.5%. Objective examination showed: slight hemiparesis in 37.5%, spastic-atactic gait disturbances in 31.5%, isolated damage to the corticospinal tracts with signs limited to one side of the body was more frequent in cortical atrophy, and these signs associated with ataxia were more frequent in subcortional atrophy. The authors explain this as a loss of cortical cells or damage to the paraventricularly coursing nerve fibres. A probable aetiology of "primary" atrophy was established in 405% of cases (hypertension, atherosclerosis, minor craniocerebral trauma). No signs or neurological syndromes were observed which could be regarded as more or less characteristic of brain atrophy.

[Effectiveness of antifibrinolytic, edema-preventing and hypotensive agents in the prevention of recurrent bleeding from intracranial aneurysms].

On the basis of a material of 561 patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated at the Department of Neurosurgery, Institute of Neurology, Medical Academy in Cracow in the years 1971 to 1977 the authors discuss the effectiveness of conservative treatment for prevention of recurrent bleeding from these aneurysms. The whole group of 561 patients were divied into two subgroups: 361 patients (group A) receiving standard antifibrilytic treatment, drugs preventing oedema formation and reducing the arterial blood pressure, and 254 patients (group B) who were not given antifibrinolytic agents and the other pharmacological agents were given to them only sporadivally. Recurrent bleeding developed in 8.86% of cases of group A and 11.02% in group B. The difference was not significant.

[Early manifestations of vascular anomalies of the central nervous system and indications for angiographic studies prior to hemorrhage].

In a group of 556 patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms in 80 (14%) prodromal manifestations were present before haemorrhage. They included most frequently headaches vomiting, disturbances of eye movements and transient disturbances of consciousness. Prodromal symptoms were most frequent in cases of vertebral-basilar aneurysms.

[Clinical types of Guillain-Barré syndrome].

A detailed history and the results of the physical examination of seven patients with unusual and not typical Guillain-Barré syndrome were described. The patients presented various levels of lesions and some signs and symptoms were not typical of classic clinical features. The variety of the clinical picture suggests the damage of nervous system in many places and at various levels, not only in the peripheral nerves, but also in the central nervous system. The heterogeneity of aetiology and aetiopathogenesis and immunological individual patient's reaction probably is the cause of the involvement of different structures.
