117 cases of cerebral cysticercosis in La Réunion are reported. Different CT features are related and situated with the evolutive state of the parasite. CT scan provided accurate diagnostic information except in some intraventricular or subarachnoid location where NMR study seems already to be superior.

The authors research work brings out the privileged place occupied by tiapride in the course of weaning 150 chronic alcoholics. This product enabled them, whatever the initial symptoms presented by the patient might be (DT, pre-DT or chronic alcoholism), to carry out a quick weaning while preserving the patient's lucidity, his freedom to move about and his ability to satisfy his physiological needs. A number of drawbacks are avoised thanks to the procedure the authors have developed, such as: the prescription of the usual psychotropic medicines and, consequently, the side effects associated with them; the complications caused by a prolonged confinement to bed; the over-demanding involvement of the nursing staff; finally, the atmosphere of struggle which accompanies the admission of a delirium tremens. Therefore the use of tiapride seems to be a turning point in the treatment of the chronic alcoholic.

The authors are reporting about a two years experiment, following up alcoholics after their withdrawal treatment. Their work estimates the comparative results of two homogeneous groups : two-hundred patients, undergoing the same supporting psycho-therapy but receiving a different drug treatment. Reviewing their experiment, they evaluate the improvements they have achieved concerning anxiety, asthenia and depression on the one hand ; and on the other hand the alcoholics' ability to reintegrate into normal life, from a family, conjugal, sexual, professional and social point of view. The overall results are expressed in terms of abstinence, relapse, hospitalization and normalization of their behavior and character.
