[Endoneural collagenosis in orbital neurofibroma]

HARASZTI Antal

[1. We described an orbital neurofibroma with the tissue pattern of hypertrophic neuritis. 2. In our case, neurofibroma was supported by the fact that neurofibroma had been previously removed from the same region, that the images resembling onion sections were localized only to some nerve fibres and that the connective tissue of the perineurium was also increased, and that clinical examination did not find lesions in other nerves. 3 We agree with Krücke's view that concentric fibre sclerosis is a secondary phenomenon and a consequence of serous infiltration. In addition, the two processes were observed side by side. 4. concentric fibrous sclerosis is not specific for hypertrophic neuritis but also occurs in neurofibromas. ]

[Epileptiform EEG manifestations in schizoform psychoses]

MAGYAR István, WALSA Róbert

[Authors use clinical and EEG phenomena of 16 patients to study the problem of the relationship between epilepsy and schizoform psychosis. After a careful analysis of all the data, 11 cases were diagnosed with epilepsy, 4 with schizophrenic psychosis and 1 with a coexistence of epilepsy and schizophrenia. They conclude that the two pathologies (a) are likely to develop from the same pathological basis in cases with structural lesions of the subcortical (temporo-limbic or related) area, (b) in some rare cases, the two pathologies may co-exist, (c) they draw attention to the non-epileptic "pseudo-paroxysms" that often colour schizophrenic psychosis, (d) they stress that a definitive opinion which will determine the correct pathology and the therapy to be followed - can only be made on a case-by-case basis, after careful analysis of the phenomena. ]
