Classically, ligation of the deep cerebral veins is incompatible with survival in man. The authors report four cases, three surgical and one medical, of thrombosis of these veins, confirmed by angiography and well tolerated. This tolerance may be explained by anatomical study of collateral systems and corroborated by clinical and experimental findings.

Amantadine has been used since 1969 in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. In 1970, were described the special symptoms noted in the lower limbs due to this drug. The authors, after a review of the various disturbances, have studied 10 cases by Capillaroscopy. They emphasize the interest of the study of this abnormality of the micro-circulation, producing vaso-constriction of the arterioles and venules.
A case of recurrent polyradiculoneuritis in a 54-year-old man is described. It is exceptional because of its lengthy development over a period of 19 years and by its association with a paraprotein of the IgE type without anyother anomal. Corticotherapy had a favourable effect on the clinical symptoms but did not affect the amount of monoclonal immunoglobulin in the serum. The nosological position of this neuropathy and the type of gammapathy are discussed. An immune mechanism seems likely, but no proof of a link between the neuropathy and the gammapathy could be found.
In order to assess the potential ability for posterior column fibers to repair, cat sensory root fibers where their repair is known to be possible. Progress of the outgrowth of fibers into the spinal cord (posterior columns) was tested by observation of the animals, histological investigation of the roots, examination of the posterior columns on cross-section at various levels, and by electrological investigation of conduction from root to spinal cord. The results obtained indicate that repair of root fibers may continue into the spinal cord, both segmentally and all along the posterior columns. These results are discussed and compared with failure of repair of posterior column fibers after spinal cord section.
