[Atypical symptoms in spinal tumors--peripheral and pseudoperipheral symptoms (author's transl)].
Sciatic symptoms and positive sciatic findings may represent a leading, but at the same time missleading symptom of a spinal tumor in every possible level for months and years ahead. The study of literature--so far scarcely taken notice of in German speaking Countries--as well as own observations lead to an organisation or array of the atypical symptoms, i.e. remote symptoms of tumors above the 12th thoracic vertebra shown as predominantly "central pseudoperipheral sciatica", more rare general peripheral findings in the lumbosacral region due to early tumoral irritation of the spinothalamic tract or the dorsal funiculi or congestional changes of the spinal fluid as well in the vascular apparatus. Tumors below the level of the 12th thoracic vertebra show an almost indistinguishable mixture of remote and local symptoms of the above nature preceeding typical clinical tumor manifestations.
[Disease of the aortic arch and its branches from clinical neurological aspect (author's transl)].
The various disease of the aortic arch and its branches are dealt with and the individual parts of the diagnostic equipment critically examined from the point of view of the clinical neurologist. Peculiarities of differential diagnosis and questions of risk are presented and discussed. Possibly misleading vascular sounds were found in an angioma in the occipital region. The neurologist views with scepticism cervical ribs and gaps in the scalenus as pathogenic factors. Early diagnosis is important in carotid stenosis. The increased angiographical risk in vascular diseases requires informed willingness for operation on the part of the patient. Finally, the expected extent of clinical success of the operation must be weighed against the purely "vascular cosmetic" success.
