A new surgical technique to treat refractory labial fusion in the elderly.

An elderly woman with refractory labial fusion was treated by labial separation. The subsequent raw area was covered by a rotational skin flap from the thigh. The flap was deroofed of epithelium proximally and tunnelled subcutaneously. The distal portion emerged to cover the raw clitoral area and this successfully prevented contraction and scarring.

Amine metabolites in the cerbrospinal fluid in Huntington's chorea.

The amine metabolites HVA and 5-HIAA in the lumbar CSF of 15 patients with Huntington's chorea were determined. A negative correlation was found between the severity of symptoms and the CSF HVA, but not 5-HIAA levels. The mean HVA concentration was lower than that of a group of patients with miscellaneous neurological disorders, similar to that of a group with miscellaneous psychiatric disorders and higher than that of a group with Parkinson's disease. The mean 5-HIAA concentration was similar to that of the neurological group and higher than those of the groups with psychiatric disorders or Parkinson's disease. CSF HVA and 5-HIAA concentrations of a single patient with severe akinetic rigid Huntington's chorea were similar to those found in Parkinson's disease. The findings are discussed in relation to previous neuropathological observations and to reported effects of drugs on the choreic symptoms.
