[The most delicate neurosurgical interventions are those involving manipulation of the midline structures, supratentorially near the hypothalamus and infratentorially near the pons, medulla oblongata. Not only direct damage to these structures, but also temporary circulatory disturbances caused by pressure or traction may result in consequential oedema or atony, which may lead to a very serious condition of the patient, possibly death. While there are little or no signs of hypothalamic injury during surgery, even minor lesions of the posterior scala of the brain stem are immediately apparent in the form of vegetative reactions (in the anaesthetised patient), changes in pulse, blood pressure and respiration. It is the anaesthesiologist's task to monitor these very carefully and report them to the surgeon.]
[Worming in aseptic meningitis should be considered in the presence of varying degrees of eosinophilia in the blood and CSF, especially in the presence of ascaris lumbricoides, cysticercosis and trichinellosis which may have spread to the nervous system. Meningitis tends to be partly toxic and partly neuroallergic. The CSF pattern of so-called sympathetic or concomitant meningitis, maintained by inflammatory foci, mainly purulent, of the body or brain, is always dependent on the development of the underlying disease. Changes in the latter are followed by changes in both the quantitative and qualitative cellular picture of the CSF and, to a lesser extent, in the protein levels. ]
[The author, reviewing the surgical descriptions of 20 cases of meningiomas with midline subfrontal and praesellar localization, found that in 5 cases the tumor was located on the lamina cribrosa and crista galli, in 3 cases it was located in the tuberculum sellae but also spread to the limbus sphenoidalis, and in 12 cases, the most frequent, it was located on the planum (jugum) sphenoidalis. He found the striking frequency of meningiomas adherent to the planum remarkable because in the publications on meningiomas this variant is not listed as a separate group, but is classified with the two former variants. - The correct analysis of the anamnesis, the osteo-, angio- and pneumographic images, and the justification for this is that while the site of adhesion of olfactory meningiomas is the os ethmoidale, that of planum meningiomas is the os sphenoidale, and while the former tends to destroy the base of the anterior scala, the latter tends to cause bone outgrowth. Although the tuberculum meningioma and planum meningioma are attached to the same bone and the limbus may be blurred, the former may show at most a slight bone lesion at the site of attachment, whereas the latter usually shows marked hyperostosis and specific bone outgrowth. On these grounds, he considers it justified to include planum meningioma as a separate variant alongside tuberculum meningioma and olfactory meningioma.]
[Four out of 20 neurological patients (2 Friedreich's, 1 Wilson's, 1 gargoylism) were found to have abnormal overall iron metabolism by isotope analysis. In contrast, the general iron turnover of our Hallervorden-Spatz patients was found to be normal despite abnormal iron metabolism in the pallidum and substantia nigra. Iron storage in these formulas is continuous. These findings can be used in the pathogenesis of Hallervorden-Spatz disease. ]
[Authors report their experience with Nuredal (Niamide) in 52 patients. The effect on psychomotor inhibition, a core symptom of depression, was found to be indisputable and primary, and they suspect this to be an extension of the scope of psychotherapy. This potential is seen in the possibility of transforming reactive depressive disorders into neurotic depression.]
