[A test of progressive enrichment of visual information (results in 102 patients with cerebral lesions) (author's transl)].

A new test is reported in which probabilistic activity is imposed on the subject in order to identify the visual stimuli presented to him. The test was validated in 109 normal subjects. When applied to 102 patients with focal cerebral lesions it demonstrated that all lesions of the right hemisphere provoked erroneous or delayed responses and that only lesions in the left occipital region produced the same effects.

[Anatomo-clinical study of a case of "ophthalmoplegia plus" with analysis of muscular, central nervous, ocular, myocardial, and thyroid lesions].

This study deals with a case of "ophtalmoplegia plus" with histochemistry and electron microscopy of a muscle biopsy and full pathological examination in a 29 year old woman. Ragged-red fibers with abnormal mitochondria, cerebral spongiosis mostly involving white matter, perimacular pigmentary retinopathy and scattered myocardial fibrosis interrupting the Hiss'bundle were found. A goiter with hypersecretion of thyroid hormones and thyroid and ocular muscles changes characteristics of Graves' disease without any hypermetabolism occurred in her late twenties. This could be related to the absence of response from the abnormal mitochondria to the thyroid hormones.
