[Misdiagnosis of multiple sclerosis]

PÁLFFY György

[The author presents 7 patients with spinal and 7 patients with intracranial space-occupying disease, whose disease was considered to be multiple sclerosis for a shorter or longer period of time, and 2 patients with multiple sclerosis, whose disease was not recognized. For these 16 patients, he analyses the clinical and CSF symptoms and neuroradiological examination procedures that can protect the physician from these errors.]

[Cavity irradiation treatment of craniopharyngeoma cysts with 90 yttrium silicate colloid]

JULOW Jenő, LÁNYI Ferenc, HAJDA Márta, SIMKOVICS Miklós, ARANY Ilona, TÓTH Szabolcs, PÁSZTOR Emil

[ The authors report on the cavity radiotherapy of craniopharyngeoma cysts in 9 patients with 90Yttrium silicate colloid. The method has been used at the National Institute of Neurosurgical Sciences since 1975. In the vast majority of cases, the procedure results in shrinkage of the craniopharyngeal cysts, and in optimal cases, their disappearance, followed in most cases by improvement of the patients' condition. ]

[Panic disorder: data on one of the anxiety disorders described form ]

KECSKEMÉTY Péter, FALUDI Gábor

[The authors review the problem of panic disorder based on the recommendations of DSM-III. They analyse this well-defined form of anxiety from the perspective of literature and their own experience. It is concluded that it is a disease entity with specific endogenous characteristics, probably biologically and genetically based, and that this seems to be confirmed by favourable chemosensitivity. Its recognition is important in view of the prevalence of the disease, its unusually high mortality and the efficacy of targeted treatment in the face of a severe morbidity of untreated cases.]

[Differential diagnostic indices in the MMPI test for the differentiation of neuroses ]

PRESSING Lajos

[Using the mathematical model of discriminant analysis, we have developed optimal linear combinations of MMPI scales that can differentiate neurosis from other core diagnostic categories-psychosomatic disorders, personality disorders, and psychoses-with the highest possible efficiency. The patient study sample of 940 patients allowed us to verify the validity of the indicators in independent groups. The indicators can be used as a differential diagnostic reference in practical diagnostic work. ]

[Report from the World Congress of Psychopharmacology in Florence]

VÁCZI Péter, FALUDI Gábor

[The 14th Congress of the Collegium Internationale Neuro-Psychopharmacologicum was held in Florence, Italy, from 19 to 23 June 1984. The main theme this time was depression. A special section dealt with the aetiological and pathogenetic aspects of Alzheimer's and senile-type dementias, especially as regards the specific receptor regulation of the brain. Several presentations were also given on the electrophysiological investigation of the relationship between the dopaminergic system and psychotropic drugs. The analgesic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, and anticonvulsant effects of beta-blockers on headache were the subject of a special symposium.]
