    Notes: Summary An intraspinal vascular malformation associated with the Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (KTW) syndrome initially was thought to be intramedullary on angiographic findings. Postmortem examination revealed an entirely posterior extramedullary arteriovenous fistula (AVF) fed by the anterior spinal artery. The association of the KTW syndrome with a so-called intramedullary AVF has been described in the literature without any pathologic confirmation (11 cases). Our case emphasizes the difficulty of determining the exact morphology and location of spinal AVF on arteriography. The association of the KTW syndrome with a retromedullary AVF can be explained on a developmental basis.

    Notes: Summary The clinical and pathologic findings in a 34-year-old woman with basal ganglia degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are reported. The duration of symptoms was 2 years. A maternal uncle had a parkinsonian syndrome with onset at 45 years of age. Neuropathologic examination revealed extensive neuronal loss and gliosis in the corpus Luysii. Nerve cell loss and gliosis also involved both parts of the globus pallidus, and the substantia nigra. The corticospinal tracts were demyelinated in the spinal cord, and neuronal loss was observed in the anterior horns. Only one similar case of pallido-luyso-nigral atrophy associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has, to our knowledge, been reported previously. Such an association may represent more than a coincidental occurrence.

    Notes: Summary The clinical history and postmortem neuropathologic findings of a case of cerebral lymphoma revealed by a typical parkinsonian syndrome are reported. The clinical symptoms initially improved with dopa therapy. The tumor was classified as a diffuse, non-cleaved, large-cell lymphoma of B-cell origin producing monoclonal lambda light chains. The substantia nigra was infiltrated by the tumor and showed neuronal loss and extraneuronal pigment. The most striking histological feature was the presence of neuronophagic-like nodules composed of lymphomatous cells both in the locus niger and in the left thalamus. No tumoral mass effect and no histological stigmata of other etiologies of parkinsonian syndromes were observed. A hypothesis is that the neuronophagic-like nodules may reflect a neuronotoxic activity of the lymphoma and may be considered at the origin of parkinsonism.
