["Silent" brain tumours in epilepsy patients]

ZOLTÁN László, FÉNYES István

[2 (3) patients with epilepsy in whom clinical investigations, including neurosurgical diagnostic procedures, were negative for tumour or space narrowing. The epilepsy surgery performed the patients were surprisingly found to have tumours (astrocytoma, haemangioma) which were completely removed. The patients are seizure-free since their surgery. We would like to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to Professor Béla Horányi, who was kind enough to review the histological sections. ]

[Hypothalamic lesion based on poriomania]

SZOBOR Albert

[1. Poriomanias are genetically, pathomechanically and clinically very heterogeneous, which makes taxonomic classification difficult. It is unsatisfactory to divide poriomania into two groups (epilepsy and psychopathy). 2. It is useful to separate poriomania into primary poriomania (true poriomania), which is a disorder of gait without content, motivation or purpose, and secondary poriomania (debilitas, psychopathy, hysteria, depression, schizophrenia, etc.). 3. True poriomania is associated with some disturbance of consciousness. 4. Description and analysis of three true poriomanias based on hypothalamic lesions, in which poriomania is one of the symptoms of hypothalamopathy. It is useful to separate these groups and to classify them as separate clinicopathological entities; clarification of pathogenesis and mechanism is also important from a therapeutic point of view. ]

[Data on temporal lobe symptomatology Pick's atrophy]

BALAJTHY Béla

[To discuss the relationships between symptomatic localisations, it is useful to divide the course of the disease into phases. In the first two stages, the process is assumed to be localised to the temporal lobes (temporal pole, amygdala, T, -T3), in the third stage it crosses the lobe boundary. ]
