[Data on carotid circulatory dysfunction (Preliminary Communication)]

DÉNES Iván, KÉKES Ede, HORÁNYI Péter

[Since 1962, the authors have reported 12 cases of carotid thrombosis and 15 cases of carotid insufficiency without thrombosis. They consider it appropriate to discuss carotid circulatory disorders by syndrome (carotid insufficiency syndrome). Among the clinical signs, great importance is attached to the auditory sensation over the carotid artery and local tenderness to pressure. Among the instrumental investigations, the carotid pulse curve is a feature in cases of insufficientia without thrombosis, and in cases of internal carotid artery thrombosis, it may be a useful diagnostic tool in addition to carotid angiography. ]

[Sociometric assessment of inpatient mental health patients]

SZABÓ Endre, BOHÁCS Elemér, MURAKÖZY Ferencné

[The authors examined 100 patients to identify familial, social and cultural factors that may play a significant role in the development and course of psychosis. They stress the importance of assessing environmental influences in patients.]

[Neurological complications associated with chondrodystrophy]

AMBRÓZY György, PÁLVÖLGYI Richárd

[After a summary of the neurological complications associated with osteochondrodystrophy, we described our own similar case. Symptoms of partial spinal cord lacunar lesion were present after spinal trauma, and an anterolisthesis of the C vertebra with significant narrowing of the spinal canal was detected by CT scan. Vasodilator treatment was performed to improve collateral circulation while maintaining tensio-level. An improvement of symptoms, unchanged for 10 years and worsening in recent months, was observed. In the case of chondrodystrophic neurological complications, orthopaedic stretching treatment may be attempted. If unsuccessful, extensive decompressive laminectomy may be recommended, especially in cases of a herniated disc or sudden onset of spinal cord injury. In cases not amenable to surgical treatment, vasodilatation and physiotherapy may be effective in maintaining arterial blood pressure at an appropriate level.]
