    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird über drei Fälle von Akustikusneurinom mit begleitenden Symptomen eines Parkinsonismus und einer Demenz berichtet. Diese Symptome wurden als Ausdruck eines chronischen Hydrocephalus betrachtet und in ihren klinischen Besonderheiten im einzelnen dargelegt.
    Notes: Summary Three cases of acoustic neurinoma with parkinsonism and dementia are reported. The characteristics of parkinsonism seen in these cases consisted of the rapid development of symptoms and symmetrical rigidity. In all cases there was a marked enlargement of the ventricular system and transient improvement in their mental states was observed following ventriculoperitoneal shunt or removal of the tumor. In an autopsy case there were no pathological findings in the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, substantia nigra or pontine nuclei. It was concluded that parkinsonism and dementia in these patients were caused by chronic hydrocephalus due to the acoustic neurinomas.

    Cerebral perfusion patterns in vascular dementia of Binswanger type compared with senile dementia of Alzheimer type: a SPECT study (1991)

    Notes: Summary Cerebral perfusion patterns in 18 cases with vascular dementia of Binswanger type (VDBT) (8 moderate and 10 severe cases) were compared with 25 cases with senile dementia of Alzheimer type (SDAT) (16 moderate and 9 severe cases) and 14 controls by single photon emission computed tomography usingN-isopropyl-p-123I iodoamphetamine (IMP) as a tracer. The cerebral: cerebellar IMP uptake ratio (%) (CCR) was used as a measure of relative cerebral perfusion. The CCRs were about 85–90% in all areas in controls. Moderate VDBT patients showed a remarkable decrease of CCRs in the basal grey region (thalamus and basal ganglia) (right 79%, left 77%) and in the frontal area (right 79%, left 80%) (P〈0.01). In severe VDBT patients a significant decrease of the CCR was noted in all regions (P〈0.01). The decrease of mean CCRs in the hemispheres was significantly correlated with the severity of disease determined by psychometric testing. Patients with SDAT showed a significant decrease of the CCR in the parietal (right 71%, left 74%) and right temporal (78%) areas in the moderate stage (P〈0.01), and further progression of dementia was associated with low perfusion areas extending to the frontal areas (78%,P〈0.01). These differences in the perfusion patterns and their changes with progression of the illnesses may be reflected in characteristic clinical features.
