    Peripheral neuropathy with predominantly motor manifestations in a patient with carcinoma of the uterus (1988)

    Notes: Summary An autopsy case of a 56-year-old woman who had carcinoma of the corpus uteri and peripheral neuropathy with predominantly motor manifestations is described. The neurological abnormalities included subacute weakness of the limbs and loss of deep reflexes, which improved after the surgical removal of the uterine carcinoma. Neuropathologically, peripheral nerves mainly presented features of axonal degeneration with a mild loss of myelinated fibres. Anterior horns of the spinal cord showed central chromatolysis of the motor nerve cells and many spheroids without neuronal loss. Axonopathy of peripheral nerves was considered to be the main pathological process in this paraneoplastic syndrome.

    Cerebral amyloid angiopathy in the aged (1987)
    Springer
    Journal of neurology 234 (1987), S. 371-376

    ISSN: 1432-1459

    Notes: Summary Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) was found in 57% of 123 autopsy brains removed from patients aged 59–101 years. The incidence of CAA increased with age. CAA was seen most frequently in the occipital cortex. Immunohistochemically, amyloid of CAA was positive for amyloid P component and negative for human AA protein and human prealbumin. The presence and severity of CAA were significantly correlated with the number of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. The incidence of CAA in 17 patients with dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) was estimated to be 88% and was significantly higher than that in 26 patients with dementia of non-Alzheimer type. CAA had a pathogenetic relationship with both brain ageing and DAT. Lobar cerebral haemorrhage was found in 3 patients with CAA of marked or moderate degree. Lobar cerebral haemorrhage in the aged and in patients with DAT suggest the presence of CAA.
