Tick-bite meningoradiculoneuritis: clinical, electrophysiologic, and histologic findings in 10 cases.

We studied 10 adults with meningoradiculitis several weeks after a tick bite (Ixodes). EMG evidence of denervation was associated with normal motor conduction velocities, prolongation of distal latencies, and low sensory amplitudes, suggesting axonal neuropathy. Sural nerve biopsies confirmed the axonal involvement. Infiltrations of lymphocytes and plasma cells, sometimes forming thick pericapillary cuffs with no accompanying necrosis of vessel walls, were numerous. Many capillaries of the endoneurium, perineurium, and epineurium were affected in this way.

[Therapeutic or palliative embolization aimed at analgesia for bone metastases of renal origin].

In addition to the chemotherapy, surgery and physical treatments usually employed in the treatment of bony secondaries from renal tumours, the authors propose embolization. They have performed this procedure in 4 patients, using a mixture of isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate and lipiodol. Arteriography is performed before and after the embolization which is carried out under local anaesthesia. Disappearance or relief of pain was obtained in each case. This technique in no way changes the prognosis of the disease, but it can improve the quality of life of these patients. A review of the literature reveals that metastases other than renal have already been embolized, as have primary malignant bone tumours. The authors describe their method, the incidents associated with treatment, the contra-indications and the supposed mechanism of the analgesic action of embolization.
