[Correlations between EEG and CT in 79 cases of dementia].
An EEG and CT study was carried out on 79 patients affected by dementia (24 SDAT and 55 MID). The EEG and CT patterns were compared with those of an age-matched control group. Statistical analysis of the CT findings between the demented and normal subjects showed significant differences only for severe atrophy. As far as EEG findings are concerned, no EEG pattern indicative of a specific type of dementia was observed even though a greater number of abnormal EEGs occurred in demented patients than in the control group. Finally, a poor EEG-CT correlation was found in demented patients.

[Clinical and CT findings in ischaemic cerebrovascular diseases (author's transl)].
120 patients with an ischaemic stroke visualized by computerized tomography were investigated: the clinical examination of the patients (double-blind study) showed a wrong diagnosis in 15,8%, the topographic diagnosis was correct in a much higher percentage (81%). Possible relationships between clinical severity, CT localization and extension of the damage were investigated; a statistically significant relationship was ascertained only in the group of 38 cases who were examined within 21 days from the stroke. The site and extension of the lesion did not seem to influence the clinical evolution or to be a good prognostic indicator in this study.

[CT and clinical findings in intracerebral hemorrhage: comparative evaluations (author's transl)].
50 cases of intracerebral hemorrhage were investigated by CT within 7 days from the stroke; the clinical findings (double-blind study) showed a wrong etiologic diagnosis in 18% and a wrong topographic diagnosis in 20% of cases. The clinical severity and evolution did not seem to be related to either the site, or the extension of the lesion (cm) as evaluated by CT.

[CT findings in chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency (author's transl)].
CT examination in 100 patients affected by chronic cerebrovascular insufficiency showed a normal picture in 16 cases, while 84 subjects showed different degrees of atrophy, generalised and focal, controlateral or sometime omolateral to the infarct, with differing patterns. The mean age of subjects with normal CT was significantly lower in comparison with patients with definite atrophy. Besides the neurological picture and the time course, the patients' psychiatric status was also assessed: no definite relationship seems to exist between psychiatric disturbances and brain atrophy. Pseudobulbar syndrome was found in 46 cases and many of them showed cortical and mainly ventricular atrophy. This picture was very seldom found in patients with vertebro-basilar insufficiency. Localised cortical atrophy, on the contrary, was often associated with ischaemic stroke. The incidence of predisposing risk factors (hypertension, diabetes mellitus or high lipid levels) was greater in subjects with brain atrophy and older age than in patients with normal CT scan.
