[Velar tics or pseudo-myoclonus of the palate].

Myoclonus of the palate of neurological origin is now a recognized syndrome. In addition to this permanement neurogenous myoclonus, there are also rhythmical contractions of the velum, usually considered to be psychogenous. A personal case seens to show the existence of a mandibular and tubal factor in the genesis of this false myoclonus. An analysis of cases previously published reveals such factors and these should always be sought as a matter of course. Coorection of them may cause the abnormal movements of the palate, which may constitute a real handicap to disappear.

[Facial paralysis and tuberculous otitis. Significance of early neural decompression].

Facial paralyses associated with tuberculous otitis have consistently had a bad prognosis. This is bound up with delay in diagnosing the tuberculous nature of the lesions and with slow-acting medical treatment. The facial nerve must be decompressed immediately and not delayed until medical treatment has failed. This attitude is particularly necessary in two types of circumstances in which the tuberculous origin should be under suspicion as a matter of routine / firstly when facial paralysis appears in the secondary sequelae of ear surgery and, secondly, when facial paralysis is a complication in chronic otitis without cholesteatoma.
