[Rheoencephalographic examination of patients with stroke in Trendelenburg's position].

Typical rheoencephalographic investigations were done and repeated in Trendelenburg's position in 91 subjects including 40 healthy ones and 51 patients with ischaemic strokes. The test produced haemodynamic changes in the arterial and venous systems. The arterial changes manifested themselves as bilateral increase in blood flow, more pronounced on the side of the lesion, and bilateral increase in the vascular tonus more on the side contralateral to the focus. As a rule changes were observed in the shape of rheoencephalographic waves. Venous changes included mainly increased number of venous waves, more frequent in the patients, especially on the side contralateral to the lesion. The results of the observations are interpreted in confrontation with literature data.

[Abdominal migraine in adults].

A case of a 35-year-old woman with abdominal migraine is presented. For four years she had been suffering from abdominal pains occurring only at night, always between 1 and 3 a.m. The patient always woke with abdominal pains and nausea. Each time she had diarrhoea and vomited and found that this gave her relief from the pain. Sometimes she lost consciousness for 1-2 minutes. After the attack she felt very weak, her legs and feet became numb and she found it difficult to get to sleep. The attacks and the fainting fits increased in frequency until she had several a month. Numerous gastrological examinations did not reveal any deviations from the normal. At the anti- epileptic consulting unit, abdominal epilepsy was excluded (no abnormalities were found in the eeg and CT examinations of the cranium). As a child she had paroxysmal abdominal pains. When the patient was 10 years old, she had an attack lasting one week and though the pain was severe on the left side, appendectomy was performed. Her mother suffers from migraine with very severe head pains. The patient was referred to our consulting unit where she was treated with Pizotifen in doses of 0.5 mg morning and noon and 1 mg in the evening for three months during which time she had no attacks. A few weeks after discontinuing this treatment, the nocturnal attacks again occurred though the pains were not so severe. She was then prescribed Nitrendipine, 5 mg nightly, and the attacks ceased. However, the patient said that she had felt better when taking Pizotifen.
