The central nervous system in a case of neurolathyrism.

We examined the central nervous system of a 67-year-old man who showed symptoms of lathyrism after being imprisoned at age 35 and fed on a diet of chick peas, Lathyrus sativus. The most obvious changes were loss of axons and myelin in the pyramidal tract in the lumbar spinal cord. These alterations correlated with spastic paraparesis. Other changes at the same level were a mild degree of degeneration of anterior horn cells. Pallor of Goll's tracts and axonal swelling in Goll's nuclei were also observed. A few examples of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles were observed in Ammon's horn.

Variability of splenomegaly in Crohn's disease.

Splenomegaly is an unusual finding in Crohn's disease and can be persistent or transient. In three febrile patients it was so prominent that the diagnosis of lymphoma was considered. In two additional patients the splenomegaly was an incidental finding. It is probably a nonspecific response to the basic disease in most cases, or occasionally a response to the chronic liver disease that can occur in inflammatory bowel disease.

A case of cortriatriatum, which is not included in three types of Loeffler's classification, is reported, and a complete description of the anatomy and pathology of the case is given. A successful surgical repair of this malformation is possible; therefore the importance of its recognition is emphasized. The clinical manifestations and the different aetiopathogenic theories are reviewed.
