The authors present the basic methods of CSF sediment preparation and problems arising from methodological procedures. The results of widely used methods of "accelerated" sedimentation and cytocentrifugation are compared. The latter method was estimated as more effective because of the high cell yield as well as due to the result of cell differentiation reflecting the in vivo condition, especially with respect to lymphocyte and monocyte percentage.
Clinical and neuropathological examinations were carried out in 32 cases of chronic myeloid leukaemia dying in the blast phase. The hypothesis is put forward that in chronic myeloid leukaemia lower age of the patient (below 45 years) is a risk factor for development of central nervous system involvement which may be related possibly to high leucocytosis occurring more frequently in these cases in the blast phase leading to leucostasis and leukaemic infiltrations in the brain. The duration of the chronic phase and blast phase, and the pattern of leucocytosis in the chronic phase were similar in younger and older patients.
The authors report a case of diffuse infarction of pontine base confirmed on autopsy. Attention is called to the rich symptomatology of brainstem syndromes and resulting considerable diagnostic difficulties.
