    Notes: Summary The most frequent sequelae after severe brain injury include changes in personality traits, disturbances of emotional behaviour and impairment of cognitive functions. In particular, emotional changes and/or verbal and non verbal dysfunctions were found in patients with bilateral or unilateral temporal lobe lesions. The aim of our study is to correlate the localization of the brain damage after severe brain injury, in particular of the temporal lobe, with the cognitive impairment and the emotional and behavioural changes resulting from these lesions. The patients with right temporal lobe lesions showed significantly better scores in verbal intelligence and verbal memory in comparison with patients with left temporal lobe lesions and those with other focal brain lesions or diffuse brain damage. In contradistinction, study of the personality and the emotional changes (MMPI and FAF) failed to demonstrate pathological scores in the 3 groups with different CT lesions, without any significant difference being found between the groups with temporal lesions and those with other focal brain lesions or diffuse brain damage. The severity of the brain injury and the prolongation of the disturbance of consciousness could, in our patients, account for prevalence of congnitive impairment on personality and emotional changes.

    Notes: Summary Serum prolactin is increased during chronic flunarizine treatment of patients suffering from migraine. In order to clarify the role of calcium in control of the secretion of anterior pituitary hormones, a study has now been made of the effects of chronic nimodipine and propranolol treatment of migraine patients on prolactin (PRL), luteinizing hormone (LH) and growth hormone (GH) levels. 11 patients were treated with nimodipine and 8 with propranolol for four months. A statistically significant reduction in the frequency of the attacks was demonstrated in both groups. No significant change was found in the hormones levels during nimodipine treatment.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Per quanto noto, una cefalea a grappolo non è mai stata riportata come secondaria ad ematoma sottodurale post-traumatico. Un uomo di 39 anni giungeva alla nostra osservazione con una sintomatologia tipo “cluster headache” a destra, a seguito di una trauma cranico in regione fronto-temporale dx, che avveniva circa 45 giorni prima della nostra osservazione. Una TAC cerebrale dimostrava la presenza di un ematoma cronico sottodurale fronto-temporale dx. Le correlazioni tra trauma cranico e cefalea a grappolo sono discusse, in rapporto all'utilità di eseguire una TAC cerebrale nei pazienti con cefalea a grappolo.
    Notes: Abstract This appears to be the first report of cluster-like headache secondary to posttraumatic subdural hematoma. A 39 year old man consulted us for cluster-like headache on the right side following an injury to the right frontotemporal region some 45 days before. A CT scan revealed a chronic subdural hematoma in the right frontotemporal region. We discuss the possibile relationship between the head injury and the headache and sugĝest the value of CT scanning in patients with cluster headache.

    Description / Table of Contents: Somario Il Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) ha permesso di tracciare profili di personalità caratteristici di pazienti affetti da emicrania (migraine headache, MH) o cefalea di tipo tensivo (tension type headache, TTH). Nel presente studio abbiamo valutato le modificazioni dei profili di personalità da noi ottenuti nei suddetti pazienti in relazione alla presenza o meno di miglioramento clinico valutato dopo sei mesi di terapia. Nei pazienti con TTH in cui la terapia non ha indotto alcun miglioramento clinico, il punteggio ottenuto nella scale della depressione è risultato più alto rispetto a quello ottenuto prima della terapia. Al contrario, in pazienti con MH il punteggio della depressione non si è modificato dopo terapia. Questi dati suggeriscono che la depressione ha un ruolo di primaria importanza nello svilupparsi della sintomatologia algica nei pazienti con MH. La registrazione elettromiografica dell'attività dei muscoli nucali a riposo non ha messo in evidenza differenze significative tra i due gruppi di pazienti, mentre in condizioni di sforzo muscolare massimo o durante uno stimolo stressante nei pazienti con TTH era evidente una attività muscolare significativamente maggiore rispetto a pazienti con MH.
    Notes: Abstract Characteristic personality profiles of patients suffering from either migraine headache (MH) or tension type headache (TTH) have been described in the light of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). In the present study we evaluated personality profile changes following modifications of the painful symtoms after treatment, through the administration of the MMPI to MH and TTH patients. In TTH patients with no clinical improvement the depression scale scores were higher after 6 months of treatment, whereas in MH patients similar scores were observed before and after therapy, thus suggesting a primary role of depression in the onset of pain in the latter patients. Computerized EMG recording of the neck muscle activity showed different patterns of muscle contraction in resting condition and during stress or maximal muscular activity in patients suffering from TTH as compared to MH patients and normal subjects.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario L'instaurarsi di un deficit neurologico focale come complicanza dell'emicrania è evento ben conosciuto. Un'alta incidenza di C.T. anormali è stata vista nei pazienti affetti da una emicrania complicata grave. In alcuni casi la lesione ha assunto l'aspetto di un infarto cerebrale. Nel nostro studio riferiamo di donna di 20 a. con emicrania complicata e sofferenza multifocale nell'area del circolo cerebrale posteriore. L'area ipodensa da noi trovata con la TAC nell'emisfero cerebellare sn. e la reversibilità della lesione potrebbe avvalorare l'ipotesi di un'edema focale.
    Notes: Abstract The occurrence of long lasting focal neurological deficit as a complication of migraine is well known. A high incidence of C.T. scan abnormalities have been seen in subjects affected by severe complicated migraine; in some cases such lesions had the aspect of cerebral infarction. In this report we will relate case of a 29 year old woman with complicated migraine and multifocal suffering within the area of the hind brain circulation. The hypodense area we found with C.T. in the left cerebellar hemishpere and the reversibility of this lesion could support the hypothesis of focal edema in our case.
