    Notes: Abstract A weekly periodicity in the occurrence of headache was found in 53 patients with migraine and in 20 with tension headache during an observation period of four weeks. In the migraine group the frequency was highest on Thursday and on Saturday and lowest on Sunday–Monday, and in patients with tension headache it was lowest on Sunday–Tuesday and highest on Friday. During the observation period several climatic factors were recorded. After correction for the weekly periodicity a highly significant correlation was found in the migraine group between headache frequency, on the one hand, and atmospheric pressure and outdoor temperature recorded 1–3 days later, on the other.

    Notes: Summary The cerebral changes are described in a woman of 54 who suffered from Binswanger's encephalopathy: there were no signs or symptoms of chronic arterial hypertension. The disease presented as dementia of about 3 years duration. Computed tomography of the brain 2. 5 years before her death showed bilateral widespread hypodense lesions in the cerebral white matter. She died of an asthmatic attack. Autopsy disclosed extensive bilateral degeneration of the central white matter, lacunes and gliosis. Severe obliterative arteriolosclerosis occurred in the meningeal vessels and those supplying the affected parts of the brain. Light microscopy showed that the most severe lesions occurred in the arterioles. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated profound extravasation of plasma proteins chiefly albumin, indicating dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier. Thus, the lesions characteristic of Binswanger's encephalopathy may develop in the absence of chronic arterial hypertension. Additional pathogenic factors, possibly genetic predisposition to vascular injury may play a role in the development of this condition.

    Notes: Summary In 115 patients with pituitary macroadenomas, the findings on mid-field MRI were correlated with the hormonal activity of the tumours. Adenomas secreting growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL) and clinically nonsecretory adenomas were studied. Tumour size, invasiveness and signal intensity patterns were recorded. Relaxation times and ratios of signal intensity and proton density (relative to the corpus callosum) were analysed in areas of apparently solid tissue in a subgroup of 59 previously untreated patients. Invasiveness was more common in PRL-and GH-secreting adenomas than in the nonsecreting ones. Diffuse invasion of the base of the skull was most common in prolactinomas, and associated with a lower frequency of suprasellar tumour extension. In prolactinomas, a correlation was found between the maximum serum PRL level and tumour size. Haemorrhagic, cystic or necrotic areas were less common in GH-secreting tumours than in the other types. Haemorrhage was more common in prolactinomas than in nonsecreting tumours. MR parameters were similar in prolactinomas and nonsecreting adenomas, but indicated a smaller amount of water in GH-secreting tumours.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 37 Fällen von Epilepsie, die auf frühere antiepileptische Medikation nicht zufriedenstellend angesprochen hatten, wurde Mogadon in Dosen von 10–30 mg täglich zu der früheren Medikation hinzugefügt. 15 der Fälle hatten eine psychomotorische Epilepsie, in 6 anderen Fällen lagen partielle Anfälle anderen Typs vor, in 2 Fällen Petit mal, in 2 Fällen myoklonisches Petit mal und in 12 Fällen unklassifizierbare Anfälle vom generalisierten Typ. Die Behandlungszeit betrug bis zu 3 Jahren. Sämtliche Patienten waren Erwachsene. Das Resultat war am besten bei partiellen Anfällen, wo 20 der Patienten gebessert wurden, sowie bei Fällen mit myoklonischem Petit mal, die sich beide auffallend besserten. In den übrigen Fällen mit primär generalisierten Anfällen war das Resultat weniger befriedigend, da nur 6 von 14 Fällen gebessert wurden. Das EEG der Patienten wurde während der Behandlung kontrolliert, und die Befunde gingen im großen und ganzen parallel zu den klinischen Resultaten. Fokale epileptogene Aktivität wurde regelmäßig gut beeinflußt. Die Beeinflussung epileptogener Aktivität, die von subcorticalen Strukturen projiziert wurde, war bedeutend geringer. Bereits nach einigen Tagen Behandlung sah man einen größeren Anteil von Beta-Aktivität im EEG. Das Resultat dauerte im großen und ganzen bei Langzeitbehandlung bis zu 3 Jahren an, und die Nebenwirkungen waren gering.
    Notes: Summary Mogadon has been tested as an anti-epileptic drug in 37 adult patients where other therapy had been unsuccessful. The daily dose was 10–30 mg, which was added to earlier therapy. Fifteen patients had psychomotor epilepsia, 6 partial attacks of other types, 2 petit mal, 2 myoclonic petit mal, and 12 had unclassified attacks of a generalized type. The observation time was up to 3 years. The results were best in cases with partial attacks where the number of fits was clearly reduced in 20 of the patients. The same good result was also obtained in the 2 cases with myoclonic petit mal. In the other cases with primarily generalized attacks Mogadon was effective in only 6 out of 14 patients. The patients were followed with EEG-recordings, where the findings well parallelled the clinical results. Focal epileptogenic activity was regularly depressed, while the effect was less on epileptogenic activity from subcortical structures. After only a few days of Mogadon therapy, the beta-activity increased in the EEG-recordings. There was on the whole no diminution of the effect of Mogadon after 3 years, and the side effects were usually negligible.

    Notes: Abstract In patients with multiple sclerosis many different types of sexual problems may exist. Paraesthesiae and decreased sensibility in the genital region may interfere with the perception of pleasurable sensations and diminish the sexual response. Lesions especially of the spinal cord may also result in impotence or loss of ejaculation. Brain lesion may cause a decrease in libido and alter the sensation of orgasm. Symptoms of sexual dysfunction are fairly common even among early and mild cases of multiple sclerosis. In advanced cases sexual problems are very common. In such cases different psychological mechanisms may play an important role. The importance of sexual counselling and sexual rehabilitation in patients with multiple sclerosis is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Roentgenological examination of the skull in 11 male-to-female transsexuals revealed considerable asymmetry (2.5–3 mm) of the sellar floor in three cases. There was no asymmetry exceeding 1.5 mm in 103 male controls. Asymmetry of the sella turcica suggests the presence of an intrasellar pituitary tumor. This finding in three patients with transsexualism is of interest in view of reports of endocrine disorders or hormonal secretion abnormalities in patients with atypical sexuality or gender identity problems.

    Notes: Abstract The extent to which hypothalamo-pituitary disorders in women affect sexual desire and sexual functions was investigated. Sexual functions and sexual appreciation were assessed in a comprehensive interview of 48 women with well-defined hypothalamo-pituitary disorders. Data about sex life were correlated to blood hormone levels and diagnosis. In most of the women (64.8%), the first clinical symptom indicating a hypothalamo-pituitary dysfunction began in the age group 16 to 35. In 43 patients (89.6%), the initial symptom was menstrual irregularities. Altogether 45 (93.8%) of the women declared that they had or had had significant sexual problems. Two of the three women who did not report sexual problems had never had intercourse. Thirty-eight (79.2%) of the women had developed a lack of or a considerable decrease in sexual desire. Problems with lubrication or orgasm were reported by 31 (64.6%) and 33 (68.7%) of the women, respectively. Normal menstrual pattern, young age, and intrasellar tumor growth correlated better with normal sexual desire and sexual functions than did normal prolactin levels and normal testosterone levels. However, at the time of interview, only 7 women had hyperprolactinemia. Serum testosterone values correlated significantly only with masturbation.
