Syndrome of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia.

The clinical details and results of some laboratory investigations are described in 4 patients who initially presented with severe external ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia. In 3 of these patients paresis of the limbs was restricted and minimal as in the syndrome first described by Fisher (1956). The fourth patient initially presented with similar symptoms but his illness progressed to a more typical form of acute idiopathic polyneuropathy, confirming Fisher's (1956) contention that this syndrome is an unusual variant of acute idiopathic polyneuritis.

Treatment of parkinsonism.

Although the mortality of Parkinsonism is negligible, it is one of the major causes of progressive and often pitiful disability in the elderly. Treatment of the condition, whether medical or surgical, is still only palliative. The successes and limitations of the various forms of treatment are discussed. Despite the spectacular gains which have been achieved during the past 25 years by sterotactic thalamotomy and treatment with levodopa, the patient's disabilities tend to progress slowly and the fundamental enigma of Parkinson's disease and of its cure still awaits solution.
