Guillain-Barré syndrome following meningococcal meningitis.

A case of Guillain-Barré syndrome following meningococcal meningitis is reported. The diagnosis was made on clinical grounds and the results of electrophysiological studies. The patient recovered spontaneously. Guillain-Barré syndrome following meningococcal infection has not to our knowledge been reported previously.

Study of oestrogen and progesterone receptors in meningiomas by a technique utilizing the binding hormones in a polymerized state.

Forty six cases of meningiomas were studied by utilizing oestrogen and progesterone hormone bound to fluroscent-iso-thiocynate (FITC) for the presence of oestrogen and progesterone receptors. Oestrogen receptors were present in 33% cases and only one fourth of these showed strong positivity. Progesterone receptors were positive in 41% cases, and more than half of these showed strong positivity. Thus this study revealed higher positivity rate for progesterone receptors than oestrogen receptors.

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) spectrum of epilepsy.

In 361 patients with strong clinical suspicion of secondary epilepsy magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed. Three hundred and forty-five patients revealed a positive study. Maximum number of patients (28.3%) were in the age group of 2 to 12 years without any significant sex predilection. More than 70% patients presented with generalised seizures. MRI revealed definite evidence of tuberculoma in 98, neurocysticercosis in 86, tumour in 60 and cerebrovascular accident in 23 patients. There were 78 patients in miscellaneous group which included patients with magnetic resonance (MR) diagnosis of generalised or focal atrophy, demyelinating disease, hydrocephalus with or without basal exudates, calcification and disappearing lesion. In 16 patients MR was found to be within normal limits.

Epidermoid cyst in association with subcutaneous meningioma.

A 17-year-old female presented with a non-tender, firm and fixed swelling in the right frontal region. Skull x-rays revealed soft tissue shadow and mild hyperostosis of the underlying frontal bone. Histopathological examination after excision showed it to be a meningioma with an epidermoid cyst.

Myoclonus: a manifestation of neurocysticercosis.

A case of neurocysticercosis in an 11 year old female manifesting only as myoclonic seizures is reported. The diagnosis was based upon ELISA test, computed tomography, and biopsy of a subcutaneous nodule. The patient responded to anticysticerci drug treatment. Neurocysticercosis has not to our knowledge been previously reported to have presented with myoclonus.

Neurocysticercosis in children.

Twenty seven cases (13 male, 14 female) in the age group of 3-12 years with cerebral cysticercosis were studied and followed up to 3.9 years (mean 1.85 +/- 0.91 years). Seizures (partial 76% and generalized 23.8%) was the feature in 21 patients (77.7%) and raised intracranial tension in 15 (55.5%). Five patients (18.2%) had meningoencephalitis, while 4 (14.8%) had obstructive hydrocephalus due to intraventricular cysts in the 4th ventricle. Twenty two patients received cysticidal drugs (praziquantel or albendazole), while 8 had surgical intervention (CSF diversion, cyst removal, subtemporal decompression or extirpation of the cortical cyst). Mortality was 18.2%. Survivors had epilepsy in 18 patients (81.8%), dementia in 2 (9%), mental subnormality in 6 (27.2%) and hyperkinesia in 12 (54.5%).
