[Multiple sclerosis mortality in Poland].

The total annual number of deaths among multiple sclerosis patients in Poland had been dropping gradually from 561 to 452 in the period 1969-1973, then it remained at a relatively stable level (507-528) in the years 1977-1980. The mean annual not age-adjusted mortality indices decreased from 1.72 to 1.34 and became stabilized at the levels 1.45-1.47 per 100 thousand population. The sex-adjusted mortality indices showed also an initial drop followed by a plateau. The mean life span of men with multiple sclerosis decreased slightly from 53.4 and in women from 52.7 to 50.4 years in both sexes in 1980. The author discusses the fluctuation of mortality indices and changes in the life span of patients with multiple sclerosis in Poland.

[Oscillopsia in multiple sclerosis].

In a 20-year-old woman one of the presenting signs of multiple sclerosis was recurrent oscillopsia. Fixation of eyes while reading released during upward and downward gaze oscillopsia with variable amplitude and frequency. Electronystagmographic investigation failed to reveal signs of damage to the vestibular organ or vestibulo-oculomotor pathways. The most likely explantation of oscillopsie was, in this case, lesion of the pathway connecting the cerebellum with oculumotor nerve nuclei.
